Lowering blood pressure with SGLT2 inhibitors may improve kidney outcomes in type 2 diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease in Japan

Abstract

Patients with a reduction (ΔMAP) of ≤-4 mmHg experienced a lower incidence of adverse renal outcomes compared to those with ΔMAP ≥-4 mmHg.

  • A total of 624 Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease were analyzed for this study.
  • Patients were grouped based on the degree of blood pressure reduction after SGLT2 inhibitor treatment.
  • Those with ΔMAP ≤-4 mmHg had a significantly lower incidence of composite renal outcomes (5.8% vs 15.6%, P = 0.003).
  • No significant differences were observed in estimated glomerular filtration rates between the two groups.
  • Patients with ΔMAP ≤-4 mmHg showed significantly larger reductions in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (P = 0.005).
