Abstract


Background:
Existing studies show that the hyperglycemia-reducing effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) is dependent on glomerular filtration. Previous studies have shown that SGLT2 are not very effective in controlling blood sugars in patients with impaired renal function. As such, SGLT2i are not recommended for patients with advanced CKD.

Objective: This systematic review aims at looking at the effects of SGLT2i in adult patients with Type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

Methods: We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar to identify various trials, which had reported renal outcome trials for SGLT2i. The reviewers examined renal outcomes, which were end-stage renal disease (ESRD), renal failure, doubling serum creatinine, macroalbuminuria, incident microalbuminuria, alteration in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), estimated glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR), dialysis, kidney transplant, or death related to renal disease. The extracted data were qualitatively synthesized.

Results:18 studies that met the eligibility criteria were selected for review. In line with the strong evidence presented in previous meta-analyses, SGLT2i clearly demonstrated that it lowered the risk of developing ESRD, microalbuminuria, and reduced the levels of eGFR and UACR compared to controls.

Conclusion: SGLT2i has positive renoprotective effects in patients with T2DM and CKD by reducing the risk of developing worsening albuminuria and decreasing the risk for ESRD compared to controls.
