Abstract Background We compared the effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on renal function in participants with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) classified by degree of albuminuria. Methods A retrospective review of the clinical records of Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes (age > 20 years; SGLT2 inhibitor treatment > 2 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) was conducted. Based on the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) or urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) at the start of SGLT2 inhibitor administration, participants were categorized into three groups: normoalbuminuria (A1; UACR < 30 mg/g Cr or UPCR < 0.15 g/g Cr), microalbuminuria (A2; UACR 30 to < 300 mg/g Cr or UPCR 0.15 to < 0.50 g/g Cr), and macroalbuminuria (A3; UACR ≥ 300 mg/g Cr or UPCR ≥ 0.50 g/g Cr). The study outcome was a comparison of the rates of change in renal function evaluated by eGFR at 2 years after starting SGLT2 inhibitor among the three groups. Results A total of 87 participants (40 females, 47 males) were categorized into three groups: A1 (n = 46), A2 (n = 25), and A3 (n = 16). eGFR was similarly decreased at 2 years before starting SGLT2 inhibitor in all three groups. However, the decline in eGFR was ameliorated at 2 years after starting SGLT2 inhibitor, and eGFR was rather increased in the A1 and A2 groups. Interestingly, the rate of change in eGFR at 2 years after starting SGLT2 inhibitor in the A1 group was significantly higher than that in the A3 group. Conclusions These results demonstrate that more favorable effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal function were observed in participants with type 2 diabetes and CKD with normoalbuminuria compared with those with macroalbuminuria.

Abstract Background: We investigated the renoprotective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with normoalbuminuria. Methods: A retrospective review of clinical records of Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes and CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) with normoalbuminuria (urine albumin to creatinine ratio < 30 mg/g Cr and/or urinary protein to creatinine ratio < 150 mg/g Cr) was conducted. Participants were categorized into two groups depending on whether they had started using SGLT2is. The main study outcome was a comparison of the change in renal function evaluated by eGFR after 1 year (ΔeGFR + 1 y) between the two groups. Then, we identified predictors that were associated with the outcome. Results: Among the 48 participants, 21 were treated with SGLT2is (SGLT2 group) and 25 were treated with other antidiabetic medications (control group). Although eGFR was significantly decreased at 1 year in the control group, the decline in eGFR was not observed in the SGLT2 group. The change in eGFR was significantly greater in the SGLT2 group than in the control group (ΔeGFR + 1 year, -4.0 [-7.7 to -0.3] mL/min/1.73 m 2 in the control group, 0.9 [-3.9 to 5.7] mL/min/1.73 m 2 in the SGLT2 group; P = 0.0231). Additionally, multiple linear regression analysis showed that an initial dip was an independent factor associated with the worsening of renal function in the SGLT2 group. Conclusions: Although more favorable effects of SGLT2is on renal function were observed in patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD with normoalbuminuria, the higher initial dip was a possible marker of worsening renal function after the initiation of SGLT2is.

Purpose of the review: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are recommended for eligible patients with type 2 diabetes for the secondary prevention of adverse cardiovascular and kidney disease outcomes. Patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease, a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and/or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction should be assessed for the use of these therapies. Sources of information: The sources include published clinical trials with SGLT2is, with a focus on cardiovascular safety studies and kidney protection trials. Methods: Information was gathered via a review of relevant literature and clinical practice guidelines, incorporated with real-life clinical experience. Key findings: Clinicians prescribing these agents must be familiar with the benefits of SGLT2is on cardiovascular and renal endpoints, and with adverse effects of SGLT2is, including mycotic genital infections and diabetic ketoacidosis. Primary care physicians and specialists should know how to adjust antihypertensive, antiglycemic, and diuretic agents. With the results of completed cardiovascular outcome trials and the Canagliflozin and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes and Nephropathy trial, nephrologists specifically have a unique opportunity to impact the safe, effective, and equitable implementation of SGLT2is into clinical practice. Limitations: Further work is needed in specific patient subgroups, including patients with chronic kidney disease stages IV and V, patients with kidney disease but lower levels of albuminuria, and in patients without diabetes.

Objective. Sclerostin is a Wnt inhibitor produced specifically by osteocytes. However, it is not currently clear whether renal dysfunction has an effect on circulating sclerostin level in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of the study was to evaluate this relationship. Design and Patients. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study of 302 type 2 diabetic patients with or without chronic kidney disease. Serum sclerostin level was analyzed by ELISA, and renal function was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. Results. There was a strong correlation between sclerostin level with renal function presented as serum creatinine (r=0.745, P<0.001) and eGFR (r=-0.590, P<0.001). Serum sclerostin level was significantly higher in patients with CKD-G3 stage than those with CKD-G1/2 stages after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI (P=0.011). Patients with CKD-G4/5 stages had dramatically increased level of circulating sclerostin. Multiple regression analyses found that age, sex, and eGFR were independent determining factors for circulating sclerostin level. Conclusion. Our data showed that serum sclerostin levels start to increase in diabetic patients with CKD-G3 stage. Further studies are needed to establish the potential role of elevated sclerostin in diabetic patients with CKD.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2I) have been reported to have renal-protective effects in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This a retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2I on renal function in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and T2DM. We analyzed 69 consecutive patients with a biopsy-proven NAFLD and T2DM with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >60 mL/min. Of these 69 patients, 22 received SGLT2I and 47 were treated without SGLT2I. Liver function and eGFR were analyzed at baseline and after three years. Body mass index, liver function and HbA1c improved significantly in both groups. In the total population, the median eGFR declined from 80.7 mL/min at the baseline to 74.9 mL/min at the end of follow-up. The median eGFR at the baseline/end of follow-up was 81.2/80.4 mL/min in patients treated with SGLT2I and 80.2/70.8 mL/min in patients treated without SGLT2I. Multivariate analysis identified an increased FIB-4 index with an odds ratio (OR) of 4.721, (p = 0.045) and SGLT2I treatment (OR 0.263, p = 0.033) as predictive factors for decreased eGFR. SGLT2I treatment has a protective effect on the renal function for NAFLD with T2DM. A long-term, randomized, controlled trial is warranted to confirm the renal protective effect of SGLT2I in NAFLD patients with T2DM.
