Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common disease among patients requiring dialysis for the first time in Japan. Multidisciplinary care (MDC) may prevent the progression of kidney failure. However, the effectiveness and timing of MDC to preserve kidney function in patients with DKD is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether MDC for patients with DKD affects the preservation of kidney function as well as the timing of MDC in clinical practice. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we identified patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and DKD from April 2012 to January 2020 using a nationwide Japanese healthcare record database. The fee code for medical guidance to prevent dialysis in patients with diabetes was used to distinguish between the MDC and non-MDC groups. The primary outcome was a 40% decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate, and secondary outcomes were death, hospitalization, permanent dialysis, kidney failure with replacement therapy, and emergency temporary catheterization. Propensity score matching was performed, and Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Overall, 9,804 eligible patients met the inclusion criteria, of whom 5,614 were matched for the main analysis: 1,039 in the MDC group, and 4,575 in the non-MDC group. The primary outcome did not differ between the groups (hazard ratio: 1.18, [95% confidence interval: 0.99-1.41], P = 0.07). The groups also did not differ in terms of the secondary outcomes. Most patients with DKD received their first MDC guidance within 1 month of diagnosis, but most received guidance only once per year. CONCLUSIONS Although we could not demonstrate the effectiveness of MDC on kidney function in patients with DKD, we clarified the characteristics of such patients assigned the fee code for medical guidance to prevent dialysis related to diabetes.

Safety and Efficacy of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Advanced and End-Stage Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Diseases 2024; 12:14. [PMID: 38248365 PMCID: PMC10814593 DOI: 10.3390/diseases12010014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Limited evidence exists regarding the safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the safety and efficacy of GLP-1RAs in T2DM patients with advanced CKD and ESKD. Materials and Methods: We performed a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane database until 25 October 2023. Included were clinical trials and cohort studies reporting outcomes of GLP-1RAs in adult patients with T2DM and advanced CKD. Outcome measures encompassed mortality, cardiovascular parameters, blood glucose, and weight. Safety was assessed for adverse events. The differences in effects were expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for dichotomous outcomes and the weighted mean difference or standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals for continuous outcomes. The Risk of Bias In Non-randomized Studies-of Interventions (ROBIN-I) tool was used in cohort and non-randomized controlled studies, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2) tool was used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The review protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD 42023398452) and received no external funding. Results: Eight studies (five trials and three cohort studies) consisting of 27,639 patients were included in this meta-analysis. No difference was observed in one-year mortality. However, GLP-1RAs significantly reduced cardiothoracic ratio (SMD of -1.2%; 95% CI -2.0, -0.4) and pro-BNP (SMD -335.9 pmol/L; 95% CI -438.9, -232.8). There was no significant decrease in systolic blood pressure. Moreover, GLP-1RAs significantly reduced mean blood glucose (SMD -1.1 mg/dL; 95% CI -1.8, -0.3) and increased weight loss (SMD -2.2 kg; 95% CI -2.9, -1.5). In terms of safety, GLP-1RAs were associated with a 3.8- and 35.7-time higher risk of nausea and vomiting, respectively, but were not significantly associated with a higher risk of hypoglycemia. Conclusions: Despite the limited number of studies in each analysis, our study provides evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of GLP-1RAs among T2DM patients with advanced CKD and ESKD. While gastrointestinal side effects may occur, GLP-1RAs demonstrate significant improvements in blood glucose control, weight reduction, and potential benefit in cardiovascular outcomes.

Utilization of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and changes in clinical characteristics in patients with type 2 diabetes by chronic kidney disease stage in Japan: A descriptive observational study using a nationwide electronic medical records database. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 24:486-498. [PMID: 34779098 PMCID: PMC9300085 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
AIM To describe the utilization of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and changes in clinical characteristics before and after GLP-1 RA initiation in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) by chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective descriptive study using a nationwide electronic medical records database in Japan, we included patients with GLP-1 RA prescriptions from June 2010 to October 2019. Clinical characteristics at GLP-1 RA initiation, persistence proportion, and changes in clinical measurements after GLP-1 RA initiation were described for all patients and by CKD stage, defined by baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS We included 8049 patients. During the study period, the proportion of patients with T2D initiating GLP-1 RAs increased from 1.5% in 2010 to 3.3% in 2019. Also, the mean (95% confidence interval) of baseline age and eGFR ranged from 58.6 (56.7-60.4) to 66.3 (65.5-67.2) years and from 72.9 (68.0-77.9) to 64.0 (62.2-65.8) mL/min/1.73m2 , respectively. The persistence proportion at 12 months was 49.5% overall, 37.8% in T2D patients with CKD with a baseline eGFR of less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2 , and 34.6% in those undergoing dialysis. The rate of deterioration in renal function reduced after GLP-1 RA initiation. CONCLUSIONS The utilization of GLP-1 RAs has been increasing over the past decade, and GLP-1 RAs have been used in patients with limited treatment options, such as the elderly or those with CKD. In T2D patients with CKD, the persistence proportion of GLP-1 RAs was not low, and the renal dysfunction may be moderated by GLP-1 RA initiation.
