Chronic Kidney Disease and SGLT2 Inhibitors: Changes in Treatment Options

AI simplified

Abstract

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 () inhibitors may significantly reduce the risk of (CKD) progression and all-cause mortality.

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers were the only agents shown to reduce CKD progression over the past 20 years.
  • Both drug classes lack evidence for reducing all-cause mortality in CKD patients.
  • SGLT2 inhibitors have shown promise in managing CKD, supported by results from key trials like CREDENCE and DAPA-CKD.
  • Canagliflozin reduced CKD progression in patients with type 2 diabetes, while dapagliflozin demonstrated similar benefits in patients with or without diabetes.
  • DAPA-CKD is notable for being the first trial to show a reduced risk of all-cause mortality in CKD patients.
