Protective effect of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with rapid renal function decline, stage G3 or G4 chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes

Abstract Aims/Introduction The risk of end‐stage kidney disease increases in proportion to the decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Although protective effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on the eGFR decline were shown in several large‐scale clinical...

description Abstract Aims/Introduction The risk of end‐stage kidney disease increases in proportion to the decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Although protective effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on the eGFR decline were shown in several large‐scale clinical trials, there are no studies investigating patients with a high risk of end‐stage kidney disease. We investigated the efficacy and safety of SGLT2i in advanced renal dysfunction patients (stage G3 or G4 of chronic kidney disease) with a rapid decline in eGFR. Materials and Methods This retrospective, longitudinal study enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated with SGLT2i, and whose eGFR was <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and had declined >20% over 2 years (%ΔeGFR−2y) before initiating SGLT2i. The primary end‐point was the change in eGFR 2 years after initiation (%ΔeGFR+2y) compared with %ΔeGFR−2y. Results A total of 17 patients among 553 patients treated with SGLT2i for ≥2 years were included in the study. The average age, glycated hemoglobin and eGFR at SGLT2i initiation were 68.5 years, 7.3% and 38.3 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. %ΔeGFR+2y in patients who were treated with SGLT2i was significantly increased compared with the patients not treated with SGLT2i (2.3 and −21.7%, respectively; P < 0.0001). A multiple regression analysis showed that only the proportion of the rate of eGFR decline was the independent factor associated with improvement of %ΔeGFR+2y. There was no increase in serious adverse events including acute kidney injury. Conclusions SGLT2i was safe, and prevented further eGFR decline in patients with type 2 diabetes and advanced renal dysfunction.
