Diabetic Kidney disease is strongly associated with cardiovascular events, premature mortality and ESRD. Gemigliptin can be used without dose adjustment in patients with renal failure. The current study aimed to assess the possible renoprotective effects of gemigliptin, using albuminuria and eGFR as indicators. This was a multi-center real-world retrospective analysis of 146 DPP-4 inhibitor naïve type 2 diabetic patients with established moderate DKD (eGFR between 30 to 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 over last 3 months) with diabetic retinopathy who received gemigliptin 50 mg once daily for 24 weeks in addition to anti-hyperglycemic, anti hypertensive’s and statins. Goodness of fit was examined using SPSS statistics 20 and ANOVA was conducted to interpret the results. Baseline characteristics were: 71 (48.6%) males and 75 (51.4%) females, the mean age was 60.81 ± 7.42 years, mean duration was 11.92 ± 3.3 years, mean BMI was 26.54 ± 2.59 kg/m2. Gemigliptin showed significant improvements in glycaemia, renal and lipid parameters with no deterioration in retinopathy, liver enzymes and with no hypoglycemic episodes and was weight neutral. In the present study, gemigliptin reduced albuminuria independent of age, gender, duration of diabetes, Hba1c, eGFR and SBP. It could ameliorate diabetic nephropathy by reducing urine albumin excretion and mitigating the reduction of eGFR in diabetic patients.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a disease whose prevalence has been steadily increasing worldwide. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease and to identify the associated factors in type 2 diabetic patients. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study. The study was conducted over a period from January to June 2016, among patients with type 2 diabetes, followed up at the Division of Diabetology of the University Hospital of Treichville, Abidjan. Results: Of 154 included patients, diabetic nephropathy (DN) was observed in 40 cases (25.9% prevalence). We observed a female predominance (sex ratio; 0.17) and the mean age of 57.7 ± 11 years. Based on the K/DOQI guidelines, half of our patients had stage 3 kidney disease. Complications such as diabetic retinopathy (100%), hypertension (HT) (75%), dyslipidemia (45%) and obesity (30%) were found. Factors such as female sex (P = 0.001; OR [95% CI] = 4.76 [1.85-12.19]), a range 55-65 years old (P = 0.010; OR [95% CI] = 2.64 [1.26-5.53]), obesity (P = 0.012; OR [95% CI] = 3.06 [1.27-7.36]), hypertension (P = 0.0001; OR [95% CI] = 4.77 [2.12-10.71]) and HbA1c <7% (P = 0.002; OR [94% CI] = 3.42 [1.57-7.44]) were associated with nephropathy by multivariate analysis. Conclusion: the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease is high in our study. The associated factors are non-modifiable such as female gender and age, but also modifiable such as obesity and hypertension.

Objective. This study aimed to explore the associations between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and early-stage diabetic kidney disease (DKD) coupled with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods. A cross-sectional study including 180 type 2 diabetic participants was conducted to explore the associations between CIMT and early-stage DKD coupled with H. pylori infection, and a stepwise multivariate regression analysis evaluated the correlations of CIMT with clinical and serologic parameters. Results. The type 2 diabetic patients with early-stage DKD coupled with H. pylori infections had the highest CIMT values. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were independent predictors of CIMT. Conclusions. Early-stage DKD coupled with H. pylori infection may synergistically lead to significant CIMT thickening in type 2 diabetic patients. Additionally, ApoB, UACR, and IL-6 levels were important independent risk factors for increased CIMT.

Abstract Background Very few studies have investigated the role of PTX3 and PVT1 genetic polymorphisms and their association in the progression of diabetic kidney diseases. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prominent reason of end-stage renal disease and also known to be involved in the high mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases. The current study has examined the role of PTX3 and PVT1 genetic polymorphisms in the development of diabetic kidney disease in type 2 diabetic patients. Results A significant difference between the genotypes and alleles of the rs2305619 polymorphism was observed in the diabetic patients with DKD when compared with the control group. The frequency of GG genotype was observed to be high in diabetic patients with DKD when compared to the other two groups. This specified that diabetic patients with GG genotype are at an increased risk to develop DKD. However, PVT1 (G/A) polymorphism did not show any association in the allele and genotypic frequencies with DKD when compared with T2DM and controls. Conclusion Our results propose a major influence of GG genotype of rs2305619 polymorphism to be significantly linked with an increased risk of DKD in type 2 diabetic patients.
