Aims: This study investigated whether there is a link between severe hypoglycemia and progression into end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Tapping into Taiwan’s Health Insurance Research Database, we identified all type 2 diabetes patients between 1996 and 2013 and identified those diagnosed with a severe hypoglycemia episode during an emergency department visit and those who were not. Controls were then matched 1:1 for age, sex, index year, and medication. Results: We identified 468,421 type 2 diabetes patients diagnosed as having severe hypoglycemia in an emergency department visit. Compared with controls, these patients with SH had a higher risk of all-cause mortality (Hazard Ratio (HR), 1.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.61–1.94) and progressed into ESRD within a shorter period of time. Results were similar after controlling for competing risk. Conclusion: Severe hypoglycemia is significantly associated with worsening renal dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes and hastened progression into ESRD.

Abstract Background Diabetic nephropathy is a global common cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. A lot of research has been conducted in biomedical sciences, which has enhanced understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy and has expanded the potential available therapies. An increasing number of evidence suggests that genetic alterations play a major role in development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. This systematic review was focused on searching an association between Arg913Gln variation in SLC12A3 gene with diabetic nephropathy in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and Gitelman Syndrome. Methods An extensive systematic review of the literature was completed using PubMed, EBSCO and Cochrane Library, from their inception to January 2018. The PRISMA guidelines were followed and the search strategy ensured that all possible studies were identified to compile the review. Inclusion criteria for this review were: 1) Studies that analyzed the SLC12A3 gene in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and Gitelman Syndrome. 2) Use of at least one analysis investigating the association between the Arg913Gln variation of SLC12A3 gene with diabetic nephropathy. 3) Use of a case–control or follow-up design. 4) Investigation of type 2 diabetes mellitus in individuals with Gitelman’s syndrome, with a history of diabetic nephropathy. Results The included studies comprised 2106 individuals with diabetic nephropathy. This review shows a significant genetic association in most studies in the Arg913Gln variation of SLC12A3 gene with the diabetic nephropathy, pointing out that the mutations of this gene could be a key predictor of end-stage renal disease. Conclusions The results showed in this systematic review contribute to better understanding of the association between the Arg913Gln variation of SLC12A3 gene with the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy in individuals with T2DM and GS.
