Evaluating the overall renal outcomes of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by Min-Jia Cao, Ting-Ting Liang, Li Xu, Fang-Hong Shi

“…We found that there was no decline in the rate of change in eGFR after 13 weeks and SGLT2 inhibitors treatment significantly improved the rate of change in eGFR after 64 weeks (64–104 weeks: WMD, 1.024 mL/min/1.73m2/per year, 95% CI 0.643–1.406; 104 weeks: 0.978, 0.163–1.794).SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) (OR 0.836; 95% CI 0.747–0.936; I 2 = 0%), mainly derived from empagliflozin (P = 0.001) and increased the incidence of volume-related adverse events (AEs) by 23%.However, no statically differences were observed in death due to kidney disease (P = 0.182) or events of eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P = 0.202). …”
