A BMI of 30 or higher qualifies only alongside heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, uncontrolled hypertension, or chronic kidney disease at stage 3a or above
Lesions of dopamine nigral neurons not only result in depression-like behavior (in the substantia nigra pars compacta) but also lead to a cascade of functional modifications on the activity of basal ganglia circuits, with the dysregulation of the glutamate system.12,13 This pathophysiological mechanism is also shared with Parkinson's disease, with the destabilization of the brain reward mechanism being linked to an increased risk of DE relapse.14 Note, the higher frequency of cardiovascular disorders than in other patients is also associated with the decrease in the activity of GDH, the glutamate-metabolizing enzyme

As we continue to add more medications that improve outcomes for patients with diabetic kidney disease, we will need to decide how we go about giving patients these medications, and we will need further trials to determine if there are benefits to being treated with as many kidney-protective medications as there are to offerSGLT2is, renin angiotensin system inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and now GLP-1 receptor agonists
