The Dangerous Duo: PAD and Kidney Disease in Diabetes

The Dangerous Duo: PAD and Kidney Disease in Diabetes

In this episode of Diabetic Food Files we explain how peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) interact in people with diabetes to worsen circulation, slow wound healing, and raise the risk of infection and limb loss.

We outline the key symptoms to watch for, recommended screening tests (ABI/toe–brachial index, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, eGFR), and why every person with diabetes should be evaluated for both conditions.

Management strategies discussed include antiplatelet and lipid therapy, ACEi/ARBs, SGLT2/GLP-1 agents, supervised exercise, diligent foot care, revascularization when needed, and close coordination among nephrology, vascular, podiatry, and endocrinology.

Early detection, aggressive risk control, and a multidisciplinary care team can greatly reduce the chance of amputation and preserve kidney function—know the signs and get screened.
