Background: Vitamin D deficiency, sympathetic activation and endothelial dysfunction are associated with increased cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Studies have so far failed to establish the role of vitamin D and vitamin D receptor activator (VDRA) treatment in moderate CKD. This trial was designed to assess whether VDRA treatment can ameliorate sympathetic activation and macro- and microvascular dysfunction in non-diabetic patients with moderate CKD. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled double-blind trial using placebo, 1 or 2 μg of paricalcitol, a VDRA, for 3 months. We assessed muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) by microneurography, pulse wave velocity (PWV) by tonometry, flow mediated vasodilatation (FMD) by brachial ultrasound, skin microcirculation assessed by iontophoresis and capillary blood velocity (CBV) by videophotometric capillaroscopy. Results: Thirty-six patients with a mean age of 65 years and mean estimated glomerular filtration rate of 40 ml/min/1.73 m2 were included. We found a significant decline in endothelial function after 3 months, except in the group receiving 2 μg of paricalcitol. The higher dose (2 μg) seemed to attenuate the decline in microvascular endothelial function, assessed by iontophoresis of acetylcholine (p = 0.06 for all groups, p = 0.65 for the 2 μg group) and for FMD (p = 0.006 for all groups, p = 0.54 for the 2 μg group). We found a borderline significance (p = 0.05) for improved CBV in the treated groups. We found no significant changes between treatments in MSNA, PWV or albuminuria. Conclusions: Endothelial function declined significantly over 3 months in patients with moderate CKD, and this decline could be ameliorated by VDRA treatment (NCT01204528).

Background and objectives: Treatment with sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors decrease tubular reabsorption of phosphate, which may explain the reduction of bone mineral density and an excess of bone fractures observed in some studies with this class of drugs. Since an increased risk of bone fractures may also be a result of diabetes itself, our study aimed to compare the effect of empagliflozin on the markers of mineral-bone metabolism between diabetic (DKD) and non-diabetic (ND-CKD) patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with stage 3 CKD and A2 albuminuria, including 18 with DKD and 24 ND-CKD, were investigated. All subjects received 10 mg empagliflozin for 7 days. Serum calcium, phosphate, parathormone (PTH), calcitriol, bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), FGF-23 and urine calcium, phosphate, albumin and the renal tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to the glomerular filtration rate (TmP-GFR) were measured before and after empagliflozin administration. Differences in biomarkers response to empagliflozin between DKD and ND-CKD were the main measures of outcome. Results: There was a significant increase of PTH, FGF-23 and phosphate in DKD but not in ND-CKD whereas BAP and TmP/GFR did not change in either group. The reduction of albuminuria was only significant in ND-CKD. Conclusions: The effect of SGLT2 inhibitor on serum mineral and bone markers and on albuminuria in patients with CKD may be differently modified by the presence of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Background Recent cardiovascular outcome trials have shown that sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk. Whether these benefits extend to CKD patients without type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease is unknown. The Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in CKD (DAPA-CKD) trial (NCT03036150) will assess the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin on renal and cardiovascular events in a broad range of patients with CKD with and without diabetes. Methods DAPA-CKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial in which ∼4300 patients with CKD Stages 2–4 and elevated urinary albumin excretion will be enrolled. The vast majority will be receiving a maximum tolerated dose of a renin–angiotensin system inhibitor at enrolment. Results After a screening assessment, eligible patients with a urinary albumin:creatinine ratio ≥200 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 25 and 75 mL/min/1.73 m2 are randomly assigned to placebo or dapagliflozin 10 mg/day. Enrolment is monitored to ensure that at least 30% of patients do not have diabetes and that no more than 10% have an eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The primary endpoint is a composite of a sustained decline in eGFR of ≥50%, end-stage renal disease, renal death or cardiovascular death. The trial will conclude when 681 primary renal events have occurred, providing 90% power to detect a 22% relative risk reduction (α level of 0.05). Conclusion DAPA-CKD will determine whether the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin, added to guideline-recommended therapies, safely reduces the rate of renal and cardiovascular events in patients across multiple CKD stages with and without diabetes.

Abstract Background and Aims Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are new class of oral antidiabetic drugs that show potent cardio- and nephroprotective actions. Despite having a favorable safety profile the treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors has been associated with several side-effects including increased risk of fractures. Although the pathomechanism of this complication has not been elucidated these drugs may inhibit tubular reabsorption of phosphate which may stimulate a secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). The study was designed to assess the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor on markers of calcium-phosphate metabolism, bone turnover and early glomerular injury in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Method 41 patients with chronic kidney disease including 23 without diabetes (13 M, 11F, age 52.9±0.7 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 38.6±10.8 ml/min/1.73 m2) and 18 with type 2 diabetes (12 M, 6F, age 58.8±1.4 years, eGFR 38.8±7.7 ml/min/1.73 m2) were recruited. Main inclusion criteria were CKD stage 3 and urine albumin secretion >100 mg/g creatinine. All subjects received oral empagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 7 days. Serum calcium, phosphorus, parathormone (PTH), calcitriol, bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), FGF23 and urine calcium, phosphate and albumin were measured at baseline and after 7 days of empagliflozin treatment. Results Plasma calcitriol, serum and urine calcium, phosphorus and BAP did not change significantly during the administration of empagliflozin. Urine phosphate/creatinine ratio was similar in both subgroups at baseline and did not change during empagliflozin administration. Plasma PTH was higher in non-diabetics than in diabetics both at baseline and after empagliflozin. The increase of PTH after empagliflozin tended to be higher in diabetic patients (p=0.07). There was only a trend towards an increase of serum FGF23 in both non-diabetic and diabetic subgroup (by 4.2±0.2 vs. 9.3±1.1 pg/mL, ns). BAP was significantly higher at baseline in diabetic patients but did not significantly change after empagliflozin in the subgroups. Albumin/creatinine ratio decrease after empagliflozin administration was significant only in non-diabetic patients (-62±17 vs. -2±8 mg/g in diabetic patients, p=0.03 for difference). Conclusion Our study showed no effect of short-time administration of empagliflozin on calcium-phosphate and bone metabolism markers in patients with both diabetic and non-diabetic CKD. Empagliflozin decreased albuminuria significantly only in non-diabetic CKD that may suggest a potentially greater nephroprotective effect of this SGLT2 inhibitor in non-diabetic than in diabetic nephropathy.
