Abstract
The majority of cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide are driven by the presence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), resulting in an increase in CKD rates over the past few decades. The existence of CKD alongside diabetes is associated with increased burden of cardiovascular disease and increased risk of death. Optimal glycaemic control is essential to prevent progression of CKD, but achieving glycaemic targets in people with CKD and diabetes can be challenging because of increased risk of hypoglycaemia and limitations on glucose-lowering therapeutic options. This review considers the challenges in management of T2D in people with impaired kidney function and assesses evidence for use of basal insulin analogues in people with CKD.

Abstract
Objective: Despite the increase in the frequency of multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) colonisation and infection in dialysis
patients, it is not well known whether the risk of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pneumonia increases in mild-to-severe chronic kidney
disease patients not undergoing dialysis. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between renal functions and the risk of MDR
ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and the specific microbial pattern.
Patients and Methods: A total of 133 patients who developed VAP were divided according to their renal function into two groups, an
estimated glomerular filtration rate of (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/ min/1.73 m2 (high eGFR, n=65) and eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (low eGFR,
n=68).
Results: The low eGFR group presented a significantly high MDRO ratio (p

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined in persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D) whether the use of insulin and the risk of serious hypoglycemic events with insulin is higher in persons with more advanced CKD. METHODS In a national cohort of 855,133 veterans with T2D seen at Veteran Affairs clinics between Jan 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010 with at least two serum creatinine measurements, we defined insulin use from pharmacy records and serious hypoglycemic events by ICD-9/10 codes from emergency room visits or hospitalizations that occurred until December 31, 2016. RESULTS Mean age was 66 ± 11 years and 97% were men. Mean baseline eGFR was 73 ± 22 ml/min/1.73 m2. In a multivariable Cox regression model of those without insulin use at baseline (N = 653,200), compared to eGFR ≥90 group, eGFR < 30 group had higher hazard (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.74 to 1.88) of subsequent insulin use. In a multivariable Cox model with propensity score matching for baseline insulin use (N = 305,570), both insulin use (HR 2.34, 95% CI 2.24 to 2.44) and advanced CKD (HR 2.28, 95% CI 2.07 to 2.51 for comparison of eGFR < 30 to eGFR ≥90 ml/min/1.73 m2 groups) were associated with increased risk of subsequent serious hypoglycemic events. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In T2D, more advanced CKD was associated with greater insulin use. Both insulin use and advanced CKD were risk factors for serious hypoglycemic events. The safety of insulin compared to newer glycemic agents in more advanced CKD needs further study.

Bitter Gourd Honey Ameliorates Hepatic and Renal Diabetic Complications on Type 2 Diabetes Rat Models by Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Anti-Apoptotic Mechanisms. Foods 2021; 10:2872. [PMID: 34829154 PMCID: PMC8618080 DOI: 10.3390/foods10112872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Revised: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Honey has several pharmacological effects, including anti-diabetic activity. However, the effectiveness of bitter gourd honey (BGH) in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties of BGH on the kidney and liver of a streptozotocin-induced diabetes rat model. METHODS A single dose (nicotinamide 110 mg/kg, streptozotocin (STZ) 55 mg/kg, intraperitoneal (i.p.)) was used to induce DM in male rats. For 28 days, normal or diabetic rats were administered 1 g/kg/day and 2 g/kg/day of BGH orally. After the treatment, blood, liver, and kidney samples were collected and analysed for biochemical, histological, and molecular parameters. In addition, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to identify the major bioactive components in BGH. RESULTS The administration of BGH to diabetic rats resulted in significant reductions in alanine transaminase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine, and urea levels. Diabetic rats treated with BGH showed lesser pathophysiological alterations in the liver and kidney as compared to non-treated control rats. BGH-treated diabetic rats exhibited reduced levels of oxidative stress (MDA levels), inflammatory (MYD88, NFKB, p-NFKB, IKKβ), and apoptotic (caspase-3) markers, as well as higher levels of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and GPx) in the liver and kidney. BGH contains many bioactive compounds that may have antioxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. CONCLUSION BGH protected the liver and kidney in diabetic rats by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis-induced damage. As a result, BGH can be used as a potential therapy to ameliorate diabetic complications.

Antidiabetic and Other Therapies Used in Subjects with Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease in a Hospital-Based Clinic Population in Greece. J Clin Med 2021; 10:2104. [PMID: 34068380 PMCID: PMC8153603 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10102104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2021] [Revised: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In Greece, in a population from hospital-based diabetes clinics (n = 1759), the overall prevalence of diabetic chronic kidney disease (DCKD) was 45% including mild, moderate, and severe CKD. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze how T2DM patients with mild-to-severe CKD are managed by diabetologists in Greece and assess the achievement rates in glycemic, blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) control. (2) Methods: This cross-sectional multicenter study took place from June 2015 to March 2016 and collected data from diabetes centers in public hospitals all over Greece. (3) Results: With regard to the anti-diabetes treatment, most participants were on metformin, DPP-4 (Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 inhibitors) inhibitors and insulin. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers were the most prescribed medications for hypertension. For the management of dyslipidemia, most participants were on statins. For patients with DCKD, the levels of HbA1c, blood pressure and LDL-C were 7.2%, 137.7/76.9 mmHg and 95.9 mg/dL, respectively (mean values). (4) Conclusions: The outcomes of this study suggest that management of DCKD can be further improved and should be enhanced. These results may contribute to the whole health care system in Greece. In addition, the better understanding of therapeutic strategies used by diabetologists treating these patients offers educational benefits to primary care physicians, which can result in an overall more successful and efficient management of subjects with T2DM and DCKD.

Plasma Protein Carbonylation in Haemodialysed Patients: Focus on Diabetes and Gender. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2018; 2018:4149681.

Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing haemodialysis (HD) experience oxidative/carbonyl stress, which is postulated to increase after the HD session. The influence of diabetes mellitus and sex on oxidation of plasma proteins in ESRD has not yet been clarified despite that diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of ESRD in developed and developing countries and despite the increasingly emerging differences between males and females in epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and outcomes for several diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the possible effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus, gender, and dialysis filter on plasma level of protein carbonyls (PCO) in ESRD patients at the beginning and at the end of a single HD session. Results show that mean post-HD plasma PCO levels are significantly higher than mean pre-HD plasma PCO levels and that the type of dialysis filter and dialysis technique are unrelated to plasma PCO levels. The mean level of plasma PCO after a HD session increases slightly but significantly in nondiabetic ESRD patients compared to diabetic ones, whereas it increases more markedly in women than in men. These novel findings suggest that women with ESRD are more susceptible than men to oxidative/carbonyl stress induced by HD.

Abstract
Although the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing globally, information on Chinese CKD patients with DM is lacking. A total of 3499 pre-dialysis CKD patients from across China were enrolled in the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease (C-STRIDE) between November 2011 and April 2016. We divided the C-STRIDE patients into CKD with DM and CKD without DM groups and compared their clinical, demographic, and laboratory data in this cross-sectional study. CKD patients with DM were older, had a higher male-to-female ratio, and had more complications than CKD patients without DM. Age, smoking, and 24-h urinary protein levels were associated with co-occurrence of CKD and DM. Less than 50% of patients in either group took antilipemic, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, or anti-anemic drugs. In addition, only 18.38% of CKD patients with DM had undergone a renal biopsy, and diabetic nephropathy was confirmed in 35.4% of them. Our findings suggest that several types of medication and renal biopsies should be used more frequently in the treatment of Chinese CKD patients with DM.

Disease Control, Health Resource Use, Healthcare Costs, and Predictors in Gout Patients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France: A Retrospective Analysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present study aimed to assess disease control, health resource utilization (HRU), and healthcare costs, and their predictors in gout patients across the USA, UK, Germany, and France. METHODS Data were extracted from the PharMetrics Plus (USA), Clinical Practice Research Datalink-Hospital Episode Statistics (UK), and Disease Analyzer databases (Germany and France) for adult gout patients over a 3-year period: 2009-2011 (all dates +1 year for France). Patients had "prevalent established gout" (i.e., were treated with urate-lowering therapy [ULT] or eligible for ULT based on American College of Rheumatology guidelines) in the preindex panel-year, with January 1 of the second study year as the study index date. Assessments of disease control (uncontrolled gout definition: ≥1 serum urate (sUA) elevation or ≥2 flares; analysis limited to the subpopulation with sUA) data, HRU, and costs were in the second post-index panel-year, while potential predictors (demographics and gout treatment characteristics) were identified in the first post-index panel-year. RESULTS Treatment rates were high (>70% with chronic urate-lowering treatment in all countries but France), while between 31.3% (France) and 62.9% (USA) of patients remained uncontrolled. Predictors of control included female gender and high adherence. In Germany, the UK, and France, lack of disease control predicted increased gout-attributed costs and increased HRU, both gout-attributed (also in the USA) and non-gout-attributed. CONCLUSION Gout management remains suboptimal, as many patients remain uncontrolled despite using urate-lowering treatment. Effective and convenient treatment options are needed to improve disease control and minimize additional HRU and costs. FUNDING AstraZeneca.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with gout have numerous comorbidities. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and incidence rates of renal and cardiovascular morbidities in trial-aligned patients with established gout in Germany (DE), the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US), and France (FR). Methods This longitudinal cohort study used retrospective data from IMS Disease Analyzer™ (DE, FR), Clinical Practice Research Datalink–Hospital Episode Statistics (UK), and IMS’ PharMetrics Plus database linked with outpatient laboratory results (US). Included patients were ≥18 years at index date (January 1, 2010; all dates +1 year for FR), with continuous enrollment during the pre-index year, had “prevalent established gout” determined by data in the pre-index year, and ≥1 documented visit after index date; additional inclusion/exclusion criteria were aligned with recent gout clinical trials. Look-back for comorbidity prevalence extended to January 1, 2003 (US: January 1, 2009). Follow-up for incidence extended from index date to at most March 26, 2013 (FR: May 31, 2014). Events of interest were identified by diagnostic codes and/or laboratory data. Results The trial-aligned cohorts included 35,118 (DE), 24,607 (UK), 121,591 (US), and 17,338 (FR) patients. Among renal conditions, baseline diagnosis of chronic kidney disease/renal failure was most prevalent in the UK followed by DE; abnormal serum creatinine was most prevalent in the UK. Hypertension was the most prevalent cardiovascular diagnosis in all countries, followed by ischemic heart disease (IHD) and myocardial infarction. Incidence rates (per 100 patient-years) for new/worsening renal impairment ranged from 1.67 (DE) to 4.34 (US) and for nephrolithiasis diagnosis from 0.31 (FR) to 3.79 (US). The incidence rates for hypertension diagnosis were highest among cardiovascular-related events, ranging from 3.23 (UK) to 20.27 (US), followed by IHD. Conclusions Patients with established gout such as those included in gout trials have a high burden of established morbidity and new diagnoses of morbid events. Consideration of comorbidities, which greatly exacerbate disease burden, is important in gout management. Funding AstraZeneca.

Abstract
AIMS Currently little is known about the relationship between renal function, albuminuria and glucagon; we analyzed the secretion of glucagon (GLA) and C-peptide in Type 2 diabetic patients with different degrees of nephropathy. METHODS 357 patients with Type 2 diabetes including 119 cases without nephropathy and 238 cases with nephropathy were divided into four groups according to the stages of diabetic nephropathy. Patients with diabetic nephropathy were further classified according to the level of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). OGTT and insulin, C-peptide, glucagon releasing tests were performed in all patients. Characteristics of glucagon and C-peptide secretion in different groups were compared. Glucagon/glucose ratio (GLA/GLU) and glucagon/insulin ratio (GLA/INS) were used to represent the inhibition of glucose or insulin on glucagon secretion, respectively. RESULTS With the progress of diabetic nephropathy, glucagon level increased significantly; the glucagon peak after glucose load delayed from 60 min to 120 min, whereas C-peptide level decreased significantly. Related factors analysis suggested that glucagon was independently correlated with eGFR. Further analysis showed that glucagon level was higher in group with eGFR<60 ml/min compared with that in group with eGFR≥60 ml/min. In addition, both GLA/INS and GLA/GLU were higher in group with eGFR<60 ml/min compared with those in group with eGFR≥60 ml/min. CONCLUSIONS Patients with Type 2 diabetic nephropathy have worsened islet alpha and beta cell function. Therefore medications based on the regulation of glucagon secretion may improve glycemic control and also be beneficial for delaying the progress of diabetic nephropathy.

Clinics (Sao Paulo) 2016; 71:47-53. [PMID: 26872083 PMCID: PMC4732385 DOI: 10.6061/clinics/2016(01)08] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2015] [Revised: 11/26/2015] [Accepted: 11/26/2015] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic options for diabetes treatment and their potential side effects, in addition to analyzing the risks and benefits of tight glycemic control in patients with diabetic kidney disease. For this review, a search was performed using several pre-defined keyword combinations and their equivalents: "diabetes kidney disease" and "renal failure" in combination with "diabetes treatment" and "oral antidiabetic drugs" or "oral hypoglycemic agents." The search was performed in PubMed, Endocrine Abstracts and the Cochrane Library from January 1980 up to January 2015. Diabetes treatment in patients with diabetic kidney disease is challenging, in part because of progression of renal failure-related changes in insulin signaling, glucose transport and metabolism, favoring both hyperglycemic peaks and hypoglycemia. Additionally, the decline in renal function impairs the clearance and metabolism of antidiabetic agents and insulin, frequently requiring reassessment of prescriptions. The management of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetic kidney disease is even more difficult, requiring adjustment of antidiabetic agents and insulin doses. The health team responsible for the follow-up of these patients should be vigilant and prepared to make such changes; however, unfortunately, there are few guidelines addressing the nuances of the management of this specific population.

Abstract
Background Diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as defined by a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), are at greater risk for cardiovascular and renal events and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CKD among diabetic patients attending a hospital in southern Ethiopia, and to assess underdiagnosis of renal insufficiency among those with normal serum creatinine. Methods A total of 214 randomly selected diabetics attending the follow-up clinic at Butajira hospital of southern Ethiopia participated in this study during the period from September 1 to October 31, 2013. All patients completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire and underwent clinical assessment. The simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and Cockroft-Gault (C-G) equations were used to estimate GFR (eGFR) from serum creatinine. Results CKD, defined as eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, was present in 18.2% and 23.8% of the study participants according to the MDRD and Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) equations, respectively. Only 9.8% of the total participants, and 48.7% (for the MDRD) and 37.3% (for C-G) of those with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 had abnormal serum creatinine values, i.e. > 1.5 mg/dl. Normal serum creatinine was observed in 90.2% of participants attending the hospital. A large proportion of participants ranging from 38.9-56.5% have shown to have mild to moderate renal insufficiency (stage 2–3 CKD) despite normal creatinine levels. CKD, eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, was found in 10.4 and 16.9% of participants with normal serum creatinine using the MDRD and C-G equations, respectively. Conclusion CKD is present in no less than 18% of diabetics attending the hospital, but it is usually undiagnosed. A significant number of diabetics have renal insufficiency corresponding to stages 2–3 CKD despite normal creatinine levels. Therefore, GFR should be considered as an estimate of renal insufficiency, regardless of serum creatinine levels being in normal range.

Abstract
Background and aim Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequent in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and therapeutic management of diabetes is more challenging in patients with renal impairment (RI). The place of metformin is of particular interest since most scientific societies now recommend using half the dosage in moderate RI and abstaining from use in severe RI, while the classic contraindication with RI has not been removed from the label. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic management, in particular the use of metformin, of T2DM patients with CKD in real life. Methods This was a French cross-sectional observational study: 3,704 patients with T2DM diagnosed for over 1 year and pharmacologically treated were recruited in two cohorts (two-thirds were considered to have renal disease [CKD patients] and one-third were not [non-CKD patients]) by 968 physicians (81% general practitioners) in 2012. Results CKD versus non-CKD patients were significantly older with longer diabetes history, more diabetic complications, and less strict glycemic control (mean glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] 7.5% versus 7.1%; 25% of CKD patients had HbA1c ≥8% versus 15% of non-CKD patients). Fifteen percent of CKD patients had severe RI, and 66% moderate RI. Therapeutic management of T2DM was clearly distinct in CKD, with less use of metformin (62% versus 86%) but at similar mean daily doses (~2 g/d). Of patients with severe RI, 33% were still treated with metformin, at similar doses. For other oral anti-diabetics, a distinct pattern of use was seen across renal function (RF): use of sulfonylureas (32%, 31%, and 20% in normal RF, moderate RI, and severe RI, respectively) and DPP4-i (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors) (41%, 36%, and 25%, respectively) decreased with RF, while that of glinides increased (8%, 14%, and 18%, respectively). CKD patients were more frequently treated with insulin (40% versus 16% of non-CKD patients), and use of insulin increased with deterioration of RF (19%, 39%, and 61% of patients with normal RF, moderate RI, and severe RI, respectively). Treatment was modified at the end of the study-visit in 34% of CKD patients, primarily to stop or reduce metformin. However, metformin was stopped in only 40% of the severe RI patients. Conclusion Despite a fairly good detection of CKD in patients with T2DM, RI was insufficiently taken into account for adjusting anti-diabetic treatment.
