Abstract
Psoriasis is a prevalent skin disease affecting approximately 1%-3% of the population and imposes significant medical, social and economic burdens. Psoriasis involves multiple organs and is often complicated with obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Because of the benefits of lipid-lowering agents and antidiabetic medications for psoriasis, metabolic abnormalities possibly play a pathogenic role in psoriasis. This review focuses on the impacts of a variety of metabolic disorders on psoriasis and the underlying mechanisms. In psoriasis, enhanced glycolysis, glutamine metabolism and altered fatty acid composition in the psoriatic lesion and plasma result in the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Altered metabolism is associated with the activation of MTORC signaling pathway and transcription factors such as HIF and S6K1. Therefore, MTORC1 can be a target for the treatment of psoriasis. Additionally, there are diabetes drugs and lipid-lowering drugs including TZDs, GLP-1 RAs, Metformin, statins and fibrates, which improve both metabolic levels and psoriasis symptoms.

Abstract
Renal injury, a prevalent clinical outcome with multifactorial etiology, imposes a substantial burden on society. Currently, there remains a lack of effective management and treatments. Extensive research has emphasized the diverse biological effects of natural polysaccharides, which exhibit promising potential for mitigating renal damage. This review commences with the pathogenesis of four common renal diseases and the shared mechanisms underlying renal injury. The renoprotective roles of polysaccharides in vivo and in vitro are summarized in the following five aspects: anti-oxidative stress effects, anti-apoptotic effects, anti-inflammatory effects, anti-fibrotic effects, and gut modulatory effects. Furthermore, we explore the structure-activity relationship and bioavailability of polysaccharides in relation to renal injury, as well as investigate their utility as biomaterials for alleviating renal injury. The clinical experiments of polysaccharides applied to patients with chronic kidney disease are also reviewed. Broadly, this review provides a comprehensive perspective on the research direction of natural polysaccharides in the context of renal injury, with the primary aim to serve as a reference for the clinical development of polysaccharides as pharmaceuticals and prebiotics for the treatment of kidney diseases.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure are often co-existing conditions due to a shared pathophysiological process involving neurohormonal activation and hemodynamic maladaptation. A wide range of pharmaceutical and interventional tools are available to patients with CKD, consisting of traditional ones with decades of experience and newer emerging therapies that are rapidly reshaping the landscape of medical care for this population. Management of patients with heart failure and CKD requires a stepwise approach based on renal function and the clinical phenotype of heart failure. This is often challenging due to altered drug pharmacokinetics interactions with various degrees of kidney function and frequent adverse effects from the therapy that lead to poor patient tolerance. Despite a great body of clinical evidence and guidelines that have offered various treatment options for patients with heart failure and CKD, respectively, patients with CKD are still underrepresented in heart failure clinical trials, especially for those with advanced CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Future studies are needed to better understand the generalizability of these therapeutic options among heart failures with different stages of CKD.

Early reduction in albuminuria is associated with a steeper 'dip' in initial estimated glomerular filtration rate but favourable long-term kidney outcomes in people with diabetes receiving sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:3868-3879. [PMID: 38951860 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
AIM To assess if early change in albuminuria was linked to an initial change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and long-term kidney outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) receiving sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. METHODS Using a medical database from a multicentre healthcare institute in Taiwan, we retrospectively enrolled 8310 people receiving SGLT2 inhibitors from 1 June 2016 to 31 December 2021. We compared the risks of initial eGFR decline, major adverse renal events (MARE; >50% eGFR reduction or development of end-stage kidney disease), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS In all, 36.8% (n = 3062) experienced a >30% decrease, 21.0% (n = 1743) experienced a 0%-30% decrease, 14.4% (n = 1199) experienced a 0%-30% increase, and 27.7% (n = 2306) experienced a >30% increase in urine albumin-to-creatine ratio (UACR) after 3 months of SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. Greater acute eGFR decline at 3 months correlated with greater UACR reduction: -3.6 ± 10.9, -2.0 ± 9.5, -1.1 ± 8.6, and -0.3 ± 9.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 for the respective UACR change groups (p < 0.001). Over a median of 29.0 months, >30% UACR decline was associated with a higher risk of >30% initial eGFR decline (hazard ratio [HR] 2.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.61-4.47]), a lower risk of MARE (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.48-0.89), and a comparable risk of MACE or HHF after multivariate adjustment (p < 0.05). The nonlinear analysis showed early UACR decline was linked to a lower risk of MARE but a higher risk of initial steep eGFR decline of >30%. CONCLUSION Physicians should be vigilant for the potential adverse effects of abrupt eGFR dipping associated with a profound reduction in UACR, despite the favourable long-term kidney outcomes in the population with T2D receiving SGLT2 inhibitor treatment.

Association of type III collagen turnover with cardiovascular outcomes and impact with canagliflozin in the CANVAS Program: A post hoc analysis. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:4060-4068.

Abstract
AIM To investigate type III collagen (COL III) turnover in participants from the CANVAS Program biomarker substudy. METHODS Biomarkers of COL III formation (PRO-C3) and COL III degradation fragments (C3M and CTX-III) were assessed in baseline and year 3 plasma from patients enrolled in CANVAS, investigating the effect of canagliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes. The clinical outcomes investigated in this study were hospitalization for heart failure, cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality. RESULTS Higher levels of PRO-C3 and C3M at baseline were associated with an increased incidence of all investigated outcomes, whereas levels of CTX-III at baseline were not associated with any of the investigated outcomes. Levels of PRO-C3 decreased and levels of CTX-III increased following canagliflozin treatment. An increase from baseline to year 3 in PRO-C3 in the placebo arm was associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular outcomes, and in all participants was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS The changes in PRO-C3 and CTX-III reflect a shift in the dynamics of COL3 turnover following treatment with canagliflozin. These biomarkers are promising pharmacodynamic tools that can be used to monitor the impact of canagliflozin treatment and possibly other sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on tissue remodelling in future interventional trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Macrophage accumulation and activation function as hallmarks of atherosclerosis and have complex and intricate dynamics throughout all components and stages of atherosclerotic plaques. In this review, we focus on the regulatory roles and underlying mechanisms of macrophage phenotypes and metabolism in atherosclerosis. We highlight the diverse range of macrophage phenotypes present in atherosclerosis and their potential roles in progression and regression of atherosclerotic plaque. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in developing therapeutic strategies for preventing and treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. RECENT FINDINGS Dysregulation of macrophage polarization between the proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypealters the immuno-inflammatory response during atherosclerosis progression, leading to plaque initiation, growth, and ultimately rupture. Altered metabolism of macrophage is a key feature for their function and the subsequent progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The immunometabolism of macrophage has been implicated to macrophage activation and metabolic rewiring of macrophages within atherosclerotic lesions, thereby shifting altered macrophage immune-effector and tissue-reparative function. Targeting macrophage phenotypes and metabolism are potential therapeutic strategies in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the precise function and metabolism of specific macrophage subsets and their contributions to the composition and growth of atherosclerotic plaques could reveal novel strategies to delay or halt development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and their associated pathophysiological consequences. Identifying biological stimuli capable of modulating macrophage phenotypes and metabolism may lead to the development of innovative therapeutic approaches for treating patients with atherosclerosis and coronary artery diseases.

Abstract
Background The relationship between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and prostate cancer is still unknown. Although these inhibitors can influence tumor glycolysis, the underlying mechanism requires further exploration. Methods A two-sample two-step MR was used to determine 1) causal effects of SGLT2 inhibition on prostate cancer; 2) causal effects of 1,400 circulating metabolites or metabolite ratios on prostate cancer; and 3) mediation effects of these circulating metabolites. Genetic proxies for SGLT2 inhibition were identified as variants in the SLC5A2 gene and glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c). Additionally, positive control analysis on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was conducted to test the selection of genetic proxies. Phenome Wide Association Study (PheWAS) and MR-PheWAS analysis were used to explore potential treatable diseases and adverse outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors. Results Genetically predicted SGLT2 inhibition (per 1 SD decrement in HbA1c) was associated with reduced risk of T2DM [odds ratio (OR) = 0.66 (95% CI 0.53, 0.82), P = 1.57 × 10-4]; prostate cancer [0.34 (0.23, 0.49), P = 2.21 × 10-8] and prostate-specific antigen [0.26 (0.08, 0.81), P = 2.07 × 10-2]. The effect of SGLT2 inhibition on prostate cancer was mediated by uridine level, with a mediated proportion of 9.34% of the total effect. In MR-PheWAS, 65 traits were found to be associated with SLGT2 inhibitors (P < 1.78 × 10-5), and among them, 13 were related to diabetes. Conclusion Our study suggested that SGLT2 inhibition could lower prostate cancer risk through uridine mediation. More mechanistic and clinical research is necessary to explore how uridine mediates the link between SGLT2 inhibition and prostate cancer.

Abstract
Introduction The protective effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on the kidneys has been widely recognized. However, limited research has reported the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of real-world patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) over time after administration of SGLT-2 inhibitors. This study aimed to reflect the trend of eGFR changes over time in T2DM patients having different baseline eGFR after SGLT-2 inhibitors administration in the real world. Methods A single-center retrospective study was performed in a tertiary public hospital in Beijing, China. In total, 998 outpatients with T2DM who initiated SGLT-2 inhibitors treatment were included in the study. The changes in eGFR, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), and glycolipid metabolism indicators were analyzed during the 18-month follow-up period. Results The eGFR levels significantly decreased to their lowest point (-3.04 mL/min/1.73 m2) in the first 3 months after initiation of SGLT-2 inhibitors treatment, however, gradually returned to the baseline level after 1 year. Compared to the subgroup with eGFR >90 mL/min/1.73 m2, improvements in renal function were more significant in patients with T2DM from the 60 < eGFR ≤90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and eGFR ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2 subgroups after treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors. Similarly, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduced the UACR in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Conclusion This study further confirmed the real-world long-term protective effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on the kidneys of patients with T2DM, which is not related to baseline renal function and blood glucose.

Abstract
Introduction The DAPA-CKD study showed a protective effect of dapagliflozin on kidney function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Although dapagliflozin is expected to be effective also in CKD patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), its efficacy and safety in this population remain unknown because ADPKD was an exclusion criterion in the DAPA-CKD study. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of dapagliflozin in CKD patients with ADPKD. Methods We performed a retrospective observational study of seven patients with ADPKD treated with dapagliflozin at Toranomon Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. We analyzed changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope and annual height-corrected total kidney volume before and after starting dapagliflozin treatment. Results The median observation period after starting dapagliflozin was 20 months. Four patients received concomitant tolvaptan. The eGFR slope before and after initiation of dapagliflozin could be calculated in six patients and improved in all of them except the one who did not receive a renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor. Annual height-corrected total kidney volume increased in all patients. Concurrent tolvaptan treatment had no effect. Conclusion In CKD patients with ADPKD, dapagliflozin may increase kidney volume but may have a protective effect on kidney function when used concomitantly with RAS inhibitors.

Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 214:111796. [PMID: 39084294 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2024.111796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
AIM The initial decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), often known as the "initial dip," associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is typically transient but may be more pronounced in older patients. METHODS We analyzed real-world data from 2,070 patients newly prescribed SGLT2i, tracking eGFR changes at baseline and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after initiation. We defined a significant initial dip as over 10 % reduction in eGFR at 3 months. In addition, the 1-year change in eGFR after the initial decline was also assessed. RESULTS Of the total patients, 34.5 % were aged 60-69 years, 21.1 % were aged 70-79 years, and 11.5 % were aged 80 years or older. About 21.4 % experienced a significant dip at 3 months. The incidence of initial dip increases with age, with the highest incidence (38.7 %) in those aged 80 + . Despite the initial decline, subsequent eGFR was stable over one year in all age groups. Factors such as age, lower hemoglobin, higher uric acid levels, and use of RAS blockers were linked to the initial dip. CONCLUSIONS Older patients showed a more pronounced initial eGFR decline after starting SGLT2i, but it stabilized for one year without further deterioration, similar to younger patients.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were initially developed for their glucose-lowering effects and have shown a modest glycaemic benefit in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In the past decade, a series of large, robust clinical trials of these therapies have demonstrated striking beneficial effects for various care goals, transforming the chronic disease therapeutic landscape. Cardiovascular safety studies in people with T2DM demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure. Subsequent trials in participants with heart failure with reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors have beneficial effects on heart failure outcomes. In dedicated kidney outcome studies, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the incidence of kidney failure among participants with or without diabetes. Post hoc analyses have suggested a range of other benefits of these drugs in conditions as diverse as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, kidney stone prevention and anaemia. SGLT2 inhibitors have a generally favourable adverse effect profile, although patient selection and medication counselling remain important. Concerted efforts are needed to better integrate these agents into routine care and support long-term medication adherence to close the gap between clinical trial outcomes and those achieved in the real world.

Abstract
To compare clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) vs. non-use of SGLT2i. A national cohort study based on the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database enrolled 944 patients with T2D who had experienced AMI and were treated with SGLT2i and 8,941 patients who did not receive SGLT2i, respectively, from May 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019. We used propensity score matching to balance covariates across study groups. The follow-up period was from the index date to the independent occurrence of the study outcomes, discontinuation of the index drug, or the end of the study period (December 31, 2020), whichever occurred first. The SGLT2i group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of cardiovascular death (0.865% per year vs. 2.048% per year; hazard ratio (HR): 0.42; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.24-0.76; P = 0.0042), heart failure hospitalization (1.987% per year vs. 3.395% per year; HR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.39-0.89; P = 0.0126), and all-cause mortality (3.406% per year vs. 4.981% per year, HR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.50-0.95; P = 0.0225) compared with the non-SGLT2i group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of AMI, ischemic stroke, coronary revascularization, major adverse cardiovascular events, composite renal outcomes, or lower limb amputation. These findings suggest that the use of SGLT2i may have favorable effects on clinical outcomes in patients with T2D after AMI.

Abstract
Given the substantial burden of chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes, an aggressive approach to treatment is required. Despite the benefits of guideline-directed therapy, there remains a high residual risk of continuing progression of chronic kidney disease and of cardiovascular events. Historically, a linear approach to pharmacologic management of chronic kidney disease has been used, in which drugs are added, then adjusted, optimized, or stopped in a stepwise manner based on their efficacy, toxicity, effects on a patient's quality of life, and cost. However, there are disadvantages to this approach, which may result in missing a window of opportunity to slow chronic kidney disease progression. Instead, a pillar approach has been proposed to enable earlier treatment that simultaneously targets multiple pathways involved in disease progression. Combination therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes is being investigated in several clinical trials. In this article, we discuss current treatment options for patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes and provide a rationale for tailored combinations of therapies with complementary mechanisms of action to optimize therapy using a pillar-based treatment strategy.

Effect of different hypoglycemic drugs and insulin on the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation in people with diabetes: a network meta-analysis. Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:399. [PMID: 39085898 PMCID: PMC11290211 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-024-01954-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes is considered a significant risk factor for the development of atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL). However, there is still insufficient evidence to determine the varying effects of different hypoglycemic drugs (HDs) on the incidence of new-onset AF/AFL in diabetic patients. To address this gap, we conducted a network meta-analysis to investigate whether various HDs have different effects on the risk of new-onset AF/AFL compared with insulin. METHOD We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to identify all clinical trials investigating the association between various HDs or insulin and incident AF/AFL up until April 1, 2024. Bayesian random-effects model was used for network meta-analysis, and the results were expressed as relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULT After searching 2070 articles, a total of 12 studies (2,349,683 patients) were included in the network meta-analysis. The treatment regimen comprised insulin and 8 HDs hypoglycemic drugs, which are sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i), metformin (Met), sulfonylureas (SU), non-sulfonylureas (nSU), thiazolidinedione (TZD) and α-glycosidase inhibitors (AGI). The use of SGLT2i [RR 0.23, 95%CI (0.11, 0.49)], GLP-1RA [RR 0.28, 95%CI (0.13, 0.57)], and DPP4i [RR 0.34, 95%CI (0.17, 0.67)] demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing the incidence of new-onset AF/AFL when compared to insulin. When HDs were compared in pairs, SGLT2i is more effective than Met [RR 0.35, 95% CI (0.19, 0.62)], SU (RR 0.27, 95% CI (0.14, 0.51)], nSU [RR 0.28, 95% CI (0.08, 0.95)], TZD [RR 0.34, 95% CI (0.17, 0.7)], GLP-1RA is more effective Met [RR 0.42, 95% CI (0.25, 0.71)], SU (RR 0.33, 95% CI (0.18, 0.6)], TZD [RR 0.41, 95% CI (0.21, 0.82)], while Met[RR 1.98, 95% CI (1.23, 3.23)], SU [RR 2.54, 95% CI (1.46, 4.43)], TZD [RR 2.01, 95% CI (1.05, 3.79)] was not as effective as DPP4i. CONCLUSION SGLT-2i, GLP-1RA, and DPP4i showed a superior efficacy in reducing the risk of new-onset AF/AFL compared to insulin therapy.

Individual treatment effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on the risk of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes: A counterfactual prediction model based on real-world data. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024. [PMID: 39039709 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
AIM To estimate individual treatment effects (ITEs) of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on lowering the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to identify those most probable to benefit from treatment. METHODS This study followed a T2D cohort from Ramathibodi Hospital, Thailand, from 2015 to 2022. A counterfactual model was constructed to predict factual and counterfactual risks of CKD if patients did/did not receive SGLT2is. ITEs were estimated by subtracting the factual risk from the counterfactual risk of CKD. RESULTS There were 1619 and 15 879 patients included in the SGLT2i and non-SGLT2i groups, respectively. The estimated ITEs varied from -1.19% to -17.51% with a median of -4.49%, that is, 50% of patients had a 4.49% or greater lower CKD risk if they received an SGLT2i. Patients who gained the greatest benefit from SGLT2is were more probable to be male, aged at least 60 years, with a history of diabetes duration of at least 3 months, hypertension, peripheral arterial disease, diabetic retinopathy and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS Our prediction model provides individualized information that helps target T2D patients who may benefit more from SGLT2is. This could help clinical decision making and implementation of personalized medicine in clinical practice, especially in resource-limited settings.

Clin Exp Nephrol 2024:10.1007/s10157-024-02532-4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renoprotective effects of sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, including dapagliflozin, were observed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The suspected underlying mechanism is a correction of hyperfiltration, observed as an "initial dip". Whether SGLT2 inhibitors can attenuate the rate of decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in clinical settings, even when considering the pre-treatment decline rate, is unknown. Although several RCTs identified an association between the initial dip and long-term renal prognoses, a conclusion has not been reached. METHODS We collected the eGFR data of patients for whom dapagliflozin was initiated in our hospital and then calculated their eGFR slopes before and after the start of the treatment. We investigated the changes in the eGFR slopes (ΔeGFR slope) and the association between the ΔeGFR slope and the initial dip. Risks for rapid eGFR decliners (eGFR slope < - 3 mL/min/1.73 m2/year) were also examined. RESULTS The eGFR slope was significantly milder after dapagliflozin treatment (p < 0.01). A deeper initial dip was associated with a milder rate of eGFR decline (adjusted beta: - 0.29, p < 0.001). Dapagliflozin treatment reduced the proportion of rapid eGFR decliners from 52.9 to 14.7%, and a smaller initial dip was identified as a significant risk for post-treatment rapid eGFR decline (adjusted odds ratio: 1.73, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared to before the administration of dapagliflozin, the rate of eGFR decline was significantly milder after its administration. The initial dip was significantly associated with long-term renoprotective effects and may be a useful predictor of treatment response.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders are currently threatening public health worldwide. Discovering new targets and developing promising drugs will reduce the global metabolic-related disease burden. Metabolic disorders primarily consist of lipid and glucose metabolic disorders. Specifically, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatosis liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) are two representative lipid metabolism disorders, while diabetes mellitus is a typical glucose metabolism disorder. In this review, we aimed to summarize the new drug candidates with promising efficacy identified in clinical trials for these diseases. These drug candidates may provide alternatives for patients with metabolic disorders and advance the progress of drug discovery for the large disease burden.

[PMID: 38962942 DOI: 10.1080/14796678.2024.2363673] [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: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) lower anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar were searched until September 2023 for studies regarding SGLT2i for treating anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Overall mortality and cardiovascular events were considered. Using a random-effects model, data pooled RR and HR at a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: 3 cohort studies were identified, analyzing 2817 patients. Results display a significant reduction in overall mortality [RR = 0.52 (0.33-0.82); p = 0.005; I2= 32%], HF hospitalization [RR = 0.20 (0.04-1.02); p = 0.05; I2= 0%] and no significant reduction in HF incidence [RR = 0.50 (0.20-1.16); p = 0.11, I2= 0%]. Conclusion: SGLT2i mitigates mortality and hospitalization due to heart failure, improving cancer patient's chances of survival by undergoing anthracycline treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exhibit potential benefits in reducing dementia risk, yet the optimal beneficiary subgroups remain uncertain. METHODS Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) initiating either SGLT2 inhibitor or sulfonylurea were identified from OneFlorida+ Clinical Research Network (2016-2022). A doubly robust learning was deployed to estimate risk difference (RD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of all-cause dementia. RESULTS Among 35,458 individuals with T2D, 1.8% in the SGLT2 inhibitor group and 4.7% in the sulfonylurea group developed all-cause dementia over a 3.2-year follow-up, yielding a lower risk for SGLT2 inhibitors (RD, -2.5%; 95% CI, -3.0% to -2.1%). Hispanic ethnicity and chronic kidney disease were identified as the two important variables to define four subgroups in which RD ranged from -4.3% (-5.5 to -3.2) to -0.9% (-1.9 to 0.2). DISCUSSION Compared to sulfonylureas, SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with a reduced risk of all-cause dementia, but the association varied among different subgroups. HIGHLIGHTS New users of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause dementia as compared to those of sulfonylureas. The association varied among different subgroups defined by Hispanic ethnicity and chronic kidney disease. A significantly lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia was observed among new users of SGLT2 inhibitors compared to those of sulfonylureas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common form of organ dysfunction in the ICU. AKI is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes, including high mortality rates, which have not measurably improved over the past decade. This review summarizes the available literature examining the evidence of the need for precision medicine in AKI in critical illness, highlights the current evidence for heterogeneity in the field of AKI, discusses the progress made in advancing precision in AKI, and provides a roadmap for studying precision-guided care in AKI. DATA SOURCES Medical literature regarding topics relevant to precision medicine in AKI, including AKI definitions, epidemiology, and outcomes, novel AKI biomarkers, studies of electronic health records (EHRs), clinical trial design, and observational studies of kidney biopsies in patients with AKI. STUDY SELECTION English language observational studies, randomized clinical trials, reviews, professional society recommendations, and guidelines on areas related to precision medicine in AKI. DATA EXTRACTION Relevant study results, statements, and guidelines were qualitatively assessed and narratively synthesized. DATA SYNTHESIS We synthesized relevant study results, professional society recommendations, and guidelines in this discussion. CONCLUSIONS AKI is a syndrome that encompasses a wide range of underlying pathologies, and this heterogeneity has hindered the development of novel therapeutics for AKI. Wide-ranging efforts to improve precision in AKI have included the validation of novel biomarkers of AKI, leveraging EHRs for disease classification, and phenotyping of tubular secretory clearance. Ongoing efforts such as the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, identifying subphenotypes in AKI, and optimizing clinical trials and endpoints all have great promise in advancing precision medicine in AKI.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), defined as co-existing diabetes and chronic kidney disease in the absence of other clear causes of kidney injury, occurs in approximately 20-40% of patients with diabetes mellitus. As the global prevalence of diabetes has increased, DKD has become highly prevalent and a leading cause of kidney failure, accelerated cardiovascular disease, premature mortality and global health care expenditure. Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms contribute to DKD, and single lifestyle or pharmacological interventions have shown limited efficacy at preserving kidney function. For nearly two decades, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors were the only available kidney-protective drugs. However, several new drug classes, including sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist and a selective endothelin receptor antagonist, have now been demonstrated to improve kidney outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, emerging preclinical and clinical evidence of the kidney-protective effects of glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists has led to the prospective testing of these agents for DKD. Research and clinical efforts are geared towards using therapies with potentially complementary efficacy in combination to safely halt kidney disease progression. As more kidney-protective drugs become available, the outlook for people living with DKD should improve in the next few decades.

Comparison of incident hypertension between SGLT2 inhibitors vs. DPP4 inhibitors. Hypertens Res 2024; 47:1789-1796. [PMID: 38600275 PMCID: PMC11224012 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-024-01649-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Although several randomized clinical trials have reported the potential benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in reducing blood pressure (BP), whether SGLT2i can reduce incident hypertension is unknown. We analyzed individuals with diabetes who were newly prescribed SGLT2i or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) in a large-scale epidemiological database. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypertension. A propensity score matching algorithm was employed to compare the subsequent development of hypertension between the SGLT2i and DPP4i groups. After propensity score matching, 5708 well-balanced pairs of SGLT2i and DPP4i users were identified. SGLT2i administration was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension (HR 0.91, 95% CI: 0.84-0.97). The advantage of SGLT2i use over DPP4i use for incident hypertension was generally consistent in several sensitivity analyses, and subgroup analyses showed that SGLT2i use was significantly associated with a lower risk of hypertension in men, patients with baseline HbA1c of <7.5%, and baseline systolic blood pressure ≥127 mmHg. Our investigation using nationwide real-world data demonstrated the potential advantage of SGLT2i over DPP4i in reducing the development of hypertension in individuals with diabetes.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a noncommunicable condition that has become a major healthcare burden across the globe, often underdiagnosed and associated with low awareness. The main cause that leads to the development of renal impairment is diabetes mellitus and, in contrast to other chronic complications such as retinopathy or neuropathy, it has been suggested that intensive glycemic control is not sufficient in preventing the development of diabetic kidney disease. Nevertheless, a novel class of antidiabetic agents, the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), have shown multiple renoprotective properties that range from metabolic and hemodynamic to direct renal effects, with a major impact on reducing the risk of occurrence and progression of CKD. Thus, this review aims to summarize current knowledge regarding the renoprotective mechanisms of SGLT2i and to offer a new perspective on this innovative class of antihyperglycemic drugs with proven pleiotropic beneficial effects that, after decades of no significant progress in the prevention and in delaying the decline of renal function, start a new era in the management of patients with CKD.

Abstract
Introduction Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, initially developed for treating hyperlipidemia, have shown promise in reducing the risk of new-onset diabetes during clinical trials. This positions CETP inhibitors as potential candidates for repurposing in metabolic disease treatment. Given their oral administration, they could complement existing oral medications like sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, potentially delaying the need for injectable therapies such as insulin. Methods We conducted a 2x2 factorial Mendelian Randomization analysis involving 233,765 participants from the UK Biobank. This study aimed to evaluate whether simultaneous genetic inhibition of CETP and SGLT2 enhances glycemic control compared to inhibiting each separately. Results Our findings indicate that dual genetic inhibition of CETP and SGLT2 significantly reduces glycated hemoglobin levels compared to controls and single-agent inhibition. Additionally, the combined inhibition is linked to a lower incidence of diabetes compared to both the control group and SGLT2 inhibition alone. Discussion These results suggest that combining CETP and SGLT2 inhibitor therapies may offer superior glycemic control over SGLT2 inhibitors alone. Future clinical trials should investigate the potential of repurposing CETP inhibitors for metabolic disease treatment, providing an oral therapeutic option that could benefit high-risk patients before they require injectable therapies like insulin or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.

Abstract
Following the publication of results from multiple landmark cardiovascular outcome trials of antihyperglycemic medications over the past 8 years, there has been a major shift in the focus of care for people with type 2 diabetes, from control of hyperglycemia to managing cardiovascular risk. Multiple international cardiology and diabetes society guidelines and recommendations now endorse sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like protein-1 receptor agonists as first-line therapies to mitigate cardiovascular risk. The most recent publication is the 2023 European Society of Cardiology guideline on the management of cardiovascular disease in those with type 2 diabetes that, for the first time, recommends use of both classes of medications for the mitigation of cardiovascular risk for those with or at high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. Here, we review the evidence behind contemporary society guidelines and recommendations for the management of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive and incurable condition that imposes a significant burden on an aging society. Although the exact prevalence of this disease is unknown, it is estimated to affect at least 800 million people worldwide. Patients with diabetes or hypertension are at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney damage. As the kidneys play a crucial role in vital physiological processes, damage to these organs can disrupt the balance of water and electrolytes, regulation of blood pressure, elimination of toxins, and metabolism of vitamin D. Early diagnosis is paramount to prevent potential complications. Treatment options such as dietary modifications and medications can help slow disease progression. In our narrative review, we have summarized the available therapeutic options to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. Many new drug treatments have recently become available, offering a beacon of hope and optimism in CKD management. Nonetheless, disease prevention remains the most critical step in disease management. Given the significant impact of CKD on public health, there is a pressing need for further research. With the development of new technologies and advancements in medical knowledge, we hope to find more effective diagnostic tools and treatments for CKD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often associated with glycemic abnormalities. This study is conducted to investigate the effects of hypoglycemic therapy on OSA-related indicators. METHOD We systematically searched Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for articles on OSA patients receiving any hypoglycemic drugs, published until December 25, 2022. Seven original studies were finally included. The proposal was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022351206). RESULTS In summary, in addition to reduced glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), we found that hypoglycemic treatment can lower the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) by 7.07/h (p = 0.0001). Although long-term treatment (> 12 weeks) achieved a more significant reduction in HbA1c (- 1.57% vs. - 0.30%) compared to short-term treatment (≤ 12 weeks), there was no significant difference between the two in terms of AHI (intergroup p-value = 0.27). We also found that patients using sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) experienced a greater reduction in AHI (- 11.00/h, p < 0.00001). Additionally, hypoglycemic treatment also showed certain improvements in related indicators like Epworth Sleepiness Scale, body mass index, and blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS Our results affirm the benefits of hypoglycemic treatment for OSA patients and highlight the notable effect of SGLT2i. Further researches are needed to help doctors gain a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between OSA and glycemic abnormalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No studies have reported the long-term outcomes of initiating sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rates less than 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 to predialysis. OBJECTIVE To compare the risk for dialysis, cardiovascular events, and death between SGLT2i users and nonusers in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). DESIGN Target trial emulation study. SETTING Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). PARTICIPANTS By applying sequential target trial emulation principle, 23 854 SGLT2i users and 23 892 SGLT2i nonusers were selected from the NHIRD for patients with T2D and stage 5 CKD from 1 May 2016 to 31 October 2021. MEASUREMENTS Conditional Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the risks for dialysis, hospitalization for heart failure, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), acute kidney injury (AKI), and all-cause mortality between SGLT2i users and nonusers. RESULTS In the intention-to-treat model, compared with no SGLT2i use, SGLT2i use was associated with lower risks for dialysis (hazard ratio [HR], 0.34 [95% CI, 0.27 to 0.43]), hospitalization for heart failure (HR, 0.80 [CI, 0.73 to 0.86]), AMI (HR, 0.61 [CI, 0.52 to 0.73]), DKA (HR, 0.78 [CI, 0.71 to 0.85]), and AKI (HR, 0.80 [CI, 0.70 to 0.90]), but there was no difference in the risk for all-cause mortality (HR, 1.11 [CI, 0.99 to 1.24]). The Kaplan-Meier curves and subgroup analyses also showed that initiation of an SGLT2i in stage 5 CKD was associated with a lower risk for long-term dialysis than no SGLT2i use. LIMITATION This result may not apply to patients without T2D. CONCLUSION This emulated target trial showed that SGLT2i use was associated with a lower risk for dialysis, cardiovascular events, DKA, and AKI than no SGLT2i use in patients with T2D and stage 5 CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are effective in reducing the risk of heart failure (HF) in type 2 diabetic patients. We systematically examined the association between cardiac adverse events (CAEs) and SGLT2i. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed CAEs in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System between January 2013 and March 2021. The CAEs were classified into four major groups according to their preferred terms. Disproportionality and Bayesian analyses were performed to detect signals using reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), information component (IC), and empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM). Case seriousness was also described. RESULTS There were 2,330 CAEs associated with SGLT2i, and 81 were used for HFs. The SGLT2i were not associated with over-reporting frequencies of CAE based on ROR (ROR = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.93, 1.01), PRR (PRR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94, 1.01), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (IC = -0.04, IC025: N.A.), and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (EBGM = 0.97, EBGM05:0.94), unless further restricted to myocardial infarction (ROR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.89, 2.17). Additionally, SGLT2i-associated CAEs are associated with 11.33% fatality and 51.25% hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2i present a favorable cardiac safety profile; however, concerns should be raised regarding their potential association with specific events.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of pioglitazone compared to placebo when added to metformin plus dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS In a multicentre study, with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 249 Korean patients with T2DM suboptimally managed on metformin and dapagliflozin were assigned to receive either pioglitazone (15 mg daily) or placebo for 24 weeks, followed by a 24-week pioglitazone extension. Primary outcomes included changes in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), with secondary outcomes assessing insulin resistance, adiponectin levels, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, body weight and waist circumference. RESULTS Pioglitazone administration resulted in a significant reduction in HbA1c levels (from 7.80% ± 0.72% to 7.27% ± 0.82%) compared with placebo (from 7.79% ± 0.76% to 7.69% ± 0.86%, corrected mean difference: -0.42% ± 0.08%; p < 0.01) at 24 weeks. Additional benefits from pioglitazone treatment included enhanced insulin sensitivity, increased adiponectin levels, raised high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and reduced liver enzyme levels, resulting in improvement in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease liver fat score. Despite no serious adverse events in either group, pioglitazone therapy was modestly but significantly associated with weight gain and increased waist circumference. CONCLUSIONS Adjunctive pioglitazone treatment in T2DM inadequately controlled with metformin and dapagliflozin demonstrates considerable glycaemic improvement, metabolic benefits, and a low risk of hypoglycaemia. These advantages must be weighed against the potential for weight gain and increased waist circumference.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, such as empagliflozin are antidiabetic drugs that have recently been reported to have cardio-protective action; however, their effect on cardiac structure and function in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has not yet been determined. This study evaluates the efficacy of empagliflozin on left ventricular (LV) volumes in type 2 diabetes or prediabetes patients with HFrEF. METHODS This randomised, double-blind, trial study was conducted on 104 patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes with HFrEF referred to Imam Khomeini and Golestan hospitals in Ahvaz, Iran. The patients were randomised to receive empagliflozin (10 mg once daily) in addition to standard treatments of HFrEF or receive only standard treatments (control group) for six months. During the six months of follow-up, changes in LV volumes, LVEF, hospitalisation for heart failure (HF) were evaluated. RESULTS Empagliflozin reduced LVEDVI and LVESVI by 10.0 and 8.0 mL/m2 (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, a significant increase in LVEF was observed in the empagliflozin group (p < 0.0001) without any significant change in the control group (p = 0.389). The hospitalisation rate was lower in the empagliflozin group than the control group (3.8% vs. 23.1%; p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Empagliflozin is effective in reducing LV volumes and hospitalisation rate in patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and HFrEF. Therefore, treatment with empagliflozin for six months was associated with a significant reduction in adverse cardiovascular outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
Carfilzomib is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor used for multiple myeloma patients. However, carfilzomib treatment is associated with cardiovascular complications. Empagliflozin, an Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2) inhibitor, is an oral antidiabetic drug with proven antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the present study was to determine the cardioprotective effects of empagliflozin against carfilzomib-induced cardiotoxicity. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups: control, empagliflozin, carfilzomib, and carfilzomib + empagliflozin. Empagliflozin prevented carfilzomib-induced cardiotoxicity by ameliorating histological alterations, CK-MB, and troponin-I. Moreover, it inhibited carfilzomib-induced oxidative damage and inflammation via its action on catalase activity, reduced glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase activity, and reduced nuclear factor-κB (p65) and cytokine levels. Mechanistically, empagliflozin abrogated endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by carfilzomib, as evidenced by the effect on the Glucose Regulated Protein-78 (GRP-78)/Activating Transcription Factor 6 (ATF6)/C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) axis. Intriguingly, carfilzomib significantly induced autophagy, an effect that was further enhanced by empagliflozin, evidenced by increased LC3B and beclin-1 mRNA expression and reduced p62 expression. The effect of empagliflozin on apoptosis was confirmed by reduced expression of active caspase-3. Importantly, empagliflozin did not alter the cytotoxic effect of carfilzomib on human U266B1 multiple myeloma cells. our findings suggest that empagliflozin may provide a new therapeutic strategy to mitigate carfilzomib-induced cardiotoxicity in multiple myeloma patients.

Abstract
AIMS About 20-40% patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) had an increased risk of developing diabetic nephropathy (DN). Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) were recommended for treatment of T2DM, while the impact of DPP-4i on renal function remained unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of DPP-4i on renal parameter of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in T2DM. METHODS A systematic search was performed across PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library. A fixed or random-effects model was used for quantitative synthesis according to the heterogeneity, which was assessed with I2 index. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed with standard methods, respectively. RESULTS A total of 17 randomized controlled trials were identified. Administration of DPP-4i produced no significant effect on eGFR (WMD, -0.92 mL/min/1.73m2, 95% CI, -2.04 to 0.19) in diabetic condition. DPP-4i produced a favorable effect on attenuating ACR (WMD, -2.76 mg/g, 95% CI, -5.23 to -0.29) in patients with T2DM. The pooled estimate was stable based on the sensitivity test. No publication bias was observed according to Begg's and Egger's tests. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with DPP-4i preserved the renal parameter of eGFR in diabetic condition. Available evidences suggested that administration of DPP-4i produced a favorable effect on attenuating ACR in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the causal role of venous thrombolism mediating sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition in death due to cardiac causes using Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods A two-sample two-step MR was used to determine (1) the causal effects of SGLT2 inhibition on death due to cardiac causes; (2) the causal effects of venous thrombolism on death due to cardiac causes; and (3) the mediation effects of venous thrombolism. Genetic proxies for SGLT2 inhibition were identified as variants in the SLC5A2 gene that were associated with both levels of gene expression and hemoglobin A1c. Additionally, employing MR to investigate the causal association between SGLT2 inhibition and cardiac arrest as well as coronary heart disease (CHD). Results SGLT2 inhibition was associated with a lower risk of death due to cardiac causes (odds ratio [OR] = 0.983, [95% CI = 0.972, 0.993], P = 0.0016). Venous thrombolism was associated with death due to cardiac causes ([OR] = 1.031, [95% CI = 1.005, 1.057], P = 0.0199). Mediation analysis showed evidence of indirect effect of SGLT2 inhibition on death due to cardiac causes through venous thrombolism [β = -0.0015, (95% CI = -0.0032 -0.0002), P = 0.042], with a mediated proportion of 8.9% (95% CI = 1.2%, 18.7%) of the total. Furthermore, SGLT2 inhibition was linked to a lower risk of cardiac arrest ([OR] = 0.097, [95% CI = 0.013, 0.742], P = 0.025). SGLT2 inhibition was linked to a lower risk of CHD ([OR] = 0.957, [95% CI = 0.932, 0.982], P = 0.0009). Conclusions Our study identified the causal roles of SGLT2 inhibition in venous thrombolism. SGLT2 inhibition may influence death due to cardiac causes through venous thrombolism. Additionally, SGLT2 inhibition was associated with reduced risk of cardiac arrest and CHD.

BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) and SGLT1 inhibitors may have additional beneficial metabolic effects on circulating metabolites beyond glucose regulation, which could contribute to a reduction in the burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Accordingly, we used Mendelian Randomization (MR) to examine the role of circulating metabolites in mediating SGLT2 and SGLT1 inhibition in CSVD. METHODS Genetic instruments for SGLT1/2 inhibition were identified as genetic variants, which were both associated with the expression of encoding genes of SGLT1/2 inhibitors and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level. A two-sample two-step MR was used to determine the causal effects of SGLT1/2 inhibition on CSVD manifestations and the mediating effects of 1400 circulating metabolites linking SGLT1/2 inhibition with CSVD manifestations. RESULTS A lower risk of deep cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and small vessel stroke (SVS) was linked to genetically predicted SGLT2 inhibition. Better white matter structure integrity was also achieved, as evidenced by decreased mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD), as well as lower deep (DWMH) and periventrivular white matter hyperintensity (PWMH) volume. Inhibiting SGLT2 could also lessen the incidence of severe enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) located at white matter, basal ganglia (BG) and hippocampus (HIP). SGLT1 inhibition could preserve white matter integrity, shown as decreased MD of white matter and DWMH volume. The effect of SGLT2 inhibition on SVS and MD of white matter through the concentration of 4-acetamidobutanoate and the cholesterol to oleoyl-linoleoyl-glycerol (18:1 to 18:2) ratio, with a mediated proportion of 30.3% and 35.5% of the total effect, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2 and SGLT1 inhibition play protective roles in CSVD development. The SGLT2 inhibition could lower the risk of SVS and improve the integrity of white matter microstructure via modulating the level of 4-acetamidobutanoate and cholesterol metabolism. Further mechanistic and clinical studies research are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
AIM Despite the increasing use of combination treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, data are limited on the effects of combination treatment on markers of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the effect of empagliflozin, semaglutide, and their combination on vascular function. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 120 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized into four groups (n = 30 in each) for 32 weeks: placebo, semaglutide, empagliflozin, and their combination. The study had two co-primary outcomes: change in arterial stiffness and kidney oxygenation. This paper reports on arterial stiffness assessed as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. Secondary outcomes included 24-h blood pressure (BP), 24-h central BP, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio and glycaemic control assessed by both continuous glucose monitoring and glycated haemoglobin. RESULTS The carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity did not change significantly in any of the groups compared with placebo. Twenty-four-hour systolic BP was reduced by 10 mmHg (95% CI 6-14), p < .001 in the combination group, significantly superior to both placebo and monotherapy (p < .05). Combination treatment increased glycaemic time in range from 72% at baseline to 91% at week 32, p < .001, without increasing time below range. The urinary albumin to creatinine ratio decreased by 36% (95% CI 4-57), p = .03 in the combination group compared with placebo. CONCLUSIONS Empagliflozin, semaglutide, or their combination did not reduce arterial stiffness. Combination treatment showed a substantial and clinically important reduction in 24-h systolic BP compared with either treatment alone. Combination treatment increased glycaemic time in range without increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, initially developed for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, have demonstrated benefits in reducing heart failure hospitalizations, slowing chronic kidney disease, and decreasing major cardiovascular events. Recent studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors can elevate serum magnesium levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting potential benefits in managing refractory hypomagnesemia. This systematic review analyzed relevant case reports, observational studies, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the association between SGLT2 inhibitors and hypomagnesemia. The review adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and study quality was assessed using the CAse REport (CARE) guidelines. It encompassed four case reports, one retrospective observational study, one post-hoc analysis of 10 RCTs, and one meta-analysis of 18 RCTs, with a total study population of 19,767 patients. The meta-analysis revealed that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly increased serum magnesium levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, with a linear dose-dependent increase noted particularly for canagliflozin. Additionally, the case reports and other studies suggested that SGLT2 inhibitors could exert extraglycemic effects, potentially enhancing magnesium balance beyond their impact on urinary magnesium excretion. This systematic review underscores the effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors in addressing refractory hypomagnesemia linked with urinary magnesium wasting. It also suggests promising avenues for the application of these drugs in diverse patient populations.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate whether sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) therapy is associated with a reduction of renal events compared with other glucose-lowering drugs (oGLDs) among Japanese people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and grade 3 (G3) chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a real-world clinical practice setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS People with T2D who were newly prescribed an SGLT2i or an oGLD from April 2014 to November 2021 (without prior use of index drugs for ≥ 1 year prior to index date) and G3 CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥ 30 to < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) were selected from the Medical Data Vision database (MDV-DB) and the Real-World Data database (RWD-DB). SGLT2i and oGLD users were matched (1:1) using propensity score on patient background characteristics. The primary endpoint was a composite of the development of end-stage kidney disease or a sustained decline in eGFR of 50% or more. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Overall, 3190 (1595 per group) patients in the MDV-DB and 2572 (1286 per group) patients in the RWD-DB were included in the analyses. The composite outcome was significantly lower in the SGLT2i group than in the oGLD group in the MDV-DB (HR 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.33 to 0.74, P < 0.001) and in the RWD-DB (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.88, P = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS Japanese people with T2D and G3 CKD initiating an SGLT2i had a lower risk of renal events than people initiating an oGLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibition exerts cardioprotective and renoprotective effects, often on top of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade. We investigated this in diabetic hypertensive (mREN2)27 rats. METHODS Rats were made diabetic with streptozotocin and treated with vehicle, the angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan, the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin, or their combination. Blood pressure (BP) was measured by telemetry. RESULTS Diabetes resulted in albuminuria, accompanied by glomerulosclerosis, without a change in glomerular filtration rate. Empagliflozin did not lower BP, while valsartan did, and when combined the BP drop was largest. Only dual blockade reduced cardiac hypertrophy and prevented left ventricular dilatation. Valsartan, but not empagliflozin, increased renin, and the largest renin rise occurred during dual blockade, resulting in plasma angiotensin II [but not angiotensin-(1-7)] upregulation. In contrast, in the kidney, valsartan lowered angiotensin II and angiotensin-(1-7), and empagliflozin did not alter this. Although both valsartan and empagliflozin alone tended to diminish albuminuria, the reduction was significant only when both drugs were combined. This was accompanied by reduced glomerulosclerosis, no change in glomerular filtration rate, and a favorable expression pattern of fibrosis and inflammatory markers (including SGLT2) in the kidney. CONCLUSION RAS blockade and SGLT2 inhibition display synergistic beneficial effects on BP, kidney injury and cardiac hypertrophy in a rat with hypertension and diabetes. The synergy does not involve upregulation of angiotensin-(1-7), but may relate to direct RAS-independent effects of empagliflozin in the heart and kidney.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) may depend on renal function, and this raises theoretical concern over its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This systematic review and updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) compared cardiovascular outcomes of patients with T2DM and CKD treated with SGLT2i to placebo. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched. Prespecified subgroup analyses were performed in strata of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <45 mL/min/1.73 m² and 45 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m². RESULTS Nine RCTs comprising 29,146 patients were selected. Average follow-up ranged from 0.75 to 4.2 years. SGLT2i were shown to reduce the risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-0.97; p=0.01), the composite of cardiovascular mortality or hospitalizations for heart failure (HHF: HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.65-0.78; p<0.001), cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.98; p=0.02), HHF (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.55-0.71; p<0.001), major adverse cardiovascular events (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.77-0.94; p=0.002), stroke (HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.59-0.97; p=0.03), and myocardial infarction (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.91; p=0.001). These findings were consistent over strata of eGFR, albeit with a lower incidence of stroke in patients treated with SGLT2i with eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m² (p-value for interaction=0.04). CONCLUSIONS Compared with a placebo, patients with T2DM and CKD treated with SGLT2i experience a reduction in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and HHF.

Water Conservation Overrides Osmotic Diuresis During SGLT2 Inhibition in Patients With Heart Failure. J Am Coll Cardiol 2024; 83:1386-1398.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are believed to improve cardiac outcomes due to their osmotic diuretic potential. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that vasopressin-driven urine concentration overrides the osmotic diuretic effect of glucosuria induced by dapagliflozin treatment. METHODS DAPA-Shuttle1 (Hepato-renal Regulation of Water Conservation in Heart Failure Patients With SGLT-2 Inhibitor Treatment) was a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, in which patients with chronic heart failure NYHA functional classes I/II and reduced ejection fraction were randomly assigned to receive dapagliflozin 10 mg daily or placebo (1:1) for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in urine osmolyte concentration. Secondary endpoints included changes in copeptin levels and solute free water clearance. RESULTS Thirty-three randomized, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor-naïve participants completed the study, 29 of whom (placebo: n = 14; dapagliflozin: n = 15) provided accurate 24-hour urine collections (mean age 59 ± 14 years; left ventricular ejection fraction 31% ± 9%). Dapagliflozin treatment led to an isolated increase in urine glucose excretion by 3.3 mmol/kg/d (95% CI: 2.51-4.04; P < 0.0001) within 48 hours (early) which persisted after 4 weeks (late; 2.7 mmol/kg/d [95% CI: 1.98-3.51]; P < 0.0001). Dapagliflozin treatment increased serum copeptin early (5.5 pmol/L [95% CI: 0.45-10.5]; P < 0.05) and late (7.8 pmol/L [95% CI: 2.77-12.81]; P < 0.01), leading to proportional reductions in free water clearance (early: -9.1 mL/kg/d [95% CI: -14 to -4.12; P < 0.001]; late: -11.0 mL/kg/d [95% CI: -15.94 to -6.07; P < 0.0001]) and elevated urine concentrations (late: 134 mmol/L [95% CI: 39.28-229.12]; P < 0.01). Therefore, urine volume did not significantly increase with dapagliflozin (mean difference early: 2.8 mL/kg/d [95% CI: -1.97 to 7.48; P = 0.25]; mean difference late: 0.9 mL/kg/d [95% CI: -3.83 to 5.62]; P = 0.70). CONCLUSIONS Physiological-adaptive water conservation eliminated the expected osmotic diuretic potential of dapagliflozin and thereby prevented a glucose-driven increase in urine volume of approximately 10 mL/kg/d · 75 kg = 750 mL/kg/d.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin (DAPA) has been demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalization rates in diabetic patients. However, the mechanism underlying its cardio-protective effect in non-diabetic patients remains unclear. Our study aimed to explore the cardio-protective impact of DAPA on myocardial infarction in non-diabetic mice. We induced myocardial infarction in C57BL/6 mice by ligating the descending branch of the left coronary artery. After surgery, the animals were randomly treated with either saline or DAPA. We employed echocardiography, Western blot analysis, and tissue staining to assess post-infarction myocardial injury. Additionally, we investigated the mechanism of action through cell experiments. Compared to the myocardial infarction group, DAPA treatment significantly attenuated ventricular remodeling and improved cardiac function. By mitigating myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis, DAPA may activate the AMPKα signaling pathway, thereby exerting a protective effect. These findings suggest that DAPA could serve as a novel therapeutic approach for patients with cardiac infarction.

Mazzieri A, Porcellati F, Timio F, Reboldi G. Molecular Targets of Novel Therapeutics for Diabetic Kidney Disease: A New Era of Nephroprotection. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:3969. [PMID: 38612779 PMCID: PMC11012439 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25073969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a chronic microvascular complication in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Although glomerulosclerosis, tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis are typical damages of DKD, the interplay of different processes (metabolic factors, oxidative stress, inflammatory pathway, fibrotic signaling, and hemodynamic mechanisms) appears to drive the onset and progression of DKD. A growing understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms, and the development of new therapeutics, is opening the way for a new era of nephroprotection based on precision-medicine approaches. This review summarizes the therapeutic options linked to specific molecular mechanisms of DKD, including renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers, SGLT2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, endothelin receptor antagonists, and aldosterone synthase inhibitors. In a new era of nephroprotection, these drugs, as pillars of personalized medicine, can improve renal outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals with DKD.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease that affects over 30% of the world's population. For decades, the heterogeneity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has impeded our understanding of the disease mechanism and the development of effective medications. However, a recent change in the nomenclature from NAFLD to MASLD emphasizes the critical role of systemic metabolic dysfunction in the pathophysiology of this disease and therefore promotes the progress in the pharmaceutical treatment of MASLD. In this review, we focus on the mechanism underlying the abnormality of hepatic lipid metabolism in patients with MASLD, and summarize the latest progress in the therapeutic medications of MASLD that target metabolic disorders.

Real-world evidence of the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors on the dosing of diuretics in patients with heart failure: a retrospective cohort study. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1366439. [PMID: 38628646 PMCID: PMC11018970 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1366439] [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: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF) was estimated to impact approximately 64 million individuals worldwide in 2017 and is predicted to rise in the coming years. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on the dosing of diuretics among individuals diagnosed with HF. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Security Forces Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between January 2018 and August 2022. The study included adult patients who were diagnosed with heart failure and received dapagliflozin and/or diuretic. A descriptive analysis was conducted to identify significant differences between both groups by using the chi-square test for categorical variables and the Student's t-test for continuous variables. A logistic regression model was also run to identify the odds of each event. Statistical significance was indicated by p values less than .05. Results: Overall reduction in diuretics was reported in 68 patients in the SGLT2 inhibitors plus diuretic therapy group, while in the diuretic therapy group 25 patients reported overall reduction in diuretics (OR = 4.81, 95% [2.74-8.45]). The reduction of the loop dose level was reported by 58 patients in the SGLT2 inhibitors plus diuretic group and by 25 patients in the diuretic group (OR = 3.48, 95% [1.98-6.11]). The discontinuation of thiazide was reported by 16 patients in the SGLT2 inhibitors plus diuretic therapy group, but by only two patients in the diuretic group (OR = 9.04, 95% [2.03-40.19]). After 6 months, ejection fraction was increased by 2.74 in the SGLT2 inhibitors plus diuretic group (p = .0019) and decreased by 2.56 in the diuretic group (p = .0485), both of which were statistically significant. The mean dose changes were decreased by 14.52 in the SGLT2 inhibitors plus diuretic group (p < .0001), which was statistically significant. Conclusion: Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors plus diuretic significantly reduced the patients' diuretic requirements. Therefore, our finding supports the theoretical concept of minimizing the level of diuretic upon the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Sisk R, Cameron R, Tahir W, Sammut-Powell C. Diagnosis codes underestimate chronic kidney disease incidence compared with eGFR-based evidence: a retrospective observational study of patients with type 2 diabetes in UK primary care. BJGP Open 2024; 8:BJGPO.2023.0079. [PMID: 37709350 PMCID: PMC11169975 DOI: 10.3399/bjgpo.2023.0079] [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: 05/03/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type two diabetes (T2D) is a leading cause of both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and onward progression to end-stage renal disease. Timely diagnosis coding of CKD in patients with T2D could lead to improvements in quality of care and patient outcomes. AIM To assess the consistency between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)-based evidence of CKD and CKD diagnosis coding in UK primary care. DESIGN & SETTING A retrospective analysis of electronic health record data in a cohort of people with T2D from 60 primary care centres within England between 2012 and 2022. METHOD We estimated the incidence rate of CKD per 100 person-years using eGFR-based CKD and diagnosis codes. Logistic regression was applied to establish which attributes were associated with diagnosis coding. Time from eGFR-based CKD to entry of a diagnosis code was summarised using the median and interquartile range. RESULTS The overall incidence of CKD was 2.32 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.24 to 2.41) and significantly higher for eGFR-based criteria than diagnosis codes: 1.98 (95% CI = 1.90 to 2.05) versus 1.06 (95% CI = 1.00 to 1.11), respectively; P<0.001. Only 45.4% of CKD incidences identified using eGFR-based criteria had a corresponding diagnosis code. Patients who were younger, had a higher CKD stage (G4), had an observed urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (A1), or no observed HbA1c in the past year were more likely to have a diagnosis code. CONCLUSION Diagnosis coding of patients with eGFR-based evidence of CKD in UK primary care is poor within patients with T2D, despite CKD being a well-known complication of diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) includes hypertensive nephrosclerosis, aging, obesity, and atherosclerosis-related renal diseases, in addition to classical diabetic nephropathy. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have been approved for diabetic and non-diabetic patients at risk of chronic kidney disease progression. As the main mechanism for SGLT2i-mediated improvement of renal function, the normalization of tubulo-glomerular feedback (TGF) has been proposed. Enhanced TGF and resulting glomerular hypertension are observed in diabetic patients, and SGLT2is normalize TGF, reducing the intraglomerular pressure, which may reduce albuminuria and improve renal function. A type 2 diabetic patient with DKD complicated with hypertensive nephrosclerosis, whose renal function was deteriorated by SGLT2i and improved by glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), was presented. In patients with hypertensive nephrosclerosis such as this case, the normalization of TGF by SGLT2i may further reduce afferent arteriolar blood flow which may worsen glomerular ischemia, resulting in deterioration of renal function. GLP-1RAs have no effect on TGF and have multiple effects to improve vascular endothelial function, which may be associated with an improvement in renal function in this patient.

Association of SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin with risks of acute kidney injury and all-cause mortality in acute myocardial infarction patients. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 80:613-620. [PMID: 38319348 PMCID: PMC10937750 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-024-03623-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have well-documented effects in reducing hospitalization or cardiovascular mortality, while the association of SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (DAPA) and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients has not been comprehensively investigated. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between DAPA and AKI risk in AMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) therapy. METHODS Using the Changzhou Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry database, we retrospectively included AMI patients from January 2017 to August 2021 and analyzed the risk of AKI and all-cause mortality after PCI therapy. The patients were divided into two groups according to the use of DAPA (DAPA group and Ctrl group). Patients in the DAPA group started to use DAPA after admission and continued its use during hospitalization and follow-up period. Baseline characteristics were balanced between the two groups with a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. The outcome was AKI within 7 days after PCI and all-cause mortality during a follow-up of 2 years. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between DAPA and AKI risk. RESULTS A total of 1839 AMI patients undergoing PCI were enrolled. DAPA was used in 278 (15.1%) patients. Postoperative AKI occurred in 351 (19.1%) cases. A 1:1 PSM analysis was used to reduce confounding factors. The multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that DAPA (odds ratio, OR 0.66; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.44-0.97; P = 0.036) was an independent protective factor in the entire cohort. After matching, the use of DAPA in AMI patients was independently associated with a decline of AKI risk (OR 0.32; 95% CI, 0.19-0.53; P < 0.001) after hospital admission. Meanwhile, there were significant differences in mortality between the DAPA group and Ctrl group (2.5% vs. 7.6%, P = 0.012). CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitor DAPA was associated with lower risks of incident AKI and all-cause mortality in AMI patients after PCI therapy.
