The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the feasibility of remote clinical trial conduct in patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated albuminuria. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the feasibility (and advantages) of remote clinical trial conduct with multiple medications in patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated albuminuria? - What is the individual response to the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in urine albumin-creatinine ratio? - What is the individual response to the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in systolic blood pressure, body weight, eGFR, and fasting plasma glucose? - Can suboptimal treatment responses to empagliflozin be overcome by the addition or substitution with finerenone? Participants will collect all study data in the comfort of their own environments - First-morning void urine samples - Capillary blood samples - Blood pressure - Body weight Participants will be assigned to a 3-week treatment period with empagliflozin 10 mg/day. Based on the albuminuria response after 2 weeks, participants will be allocated to one of three treatment regimens after the 3-week treatment period with empagliflozin: - Continue empagliflozin for 4 more weeks (good response). - Continue empagliflozin for 4 more weeks and add finerenone 10 or 20 mg will be added for 4 weeks (moderate response). - Stop empagliflozin and start finerenone 10 or 20 mg for 4 weeks (no response)

Assessment for usage of laxatives and probiotics ,and its role in improving uremic parameters of CKD as GFR, UREA ,CREATININE, CLINICAL and UREMIC assessment (lower limb edema ,UOP,base of chest ,vomiting ,dyspnea,blood pressure measurement)
Aimed to investigate the association of fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) with DKD type 2 and to prove its possible role as a novel biomarker to predict and prevent DKD progression.
Back ground & Aims Adult patients suffering from multimorbidity are at high risk of medication non-adherence. It has been well established that self-management support is an effective strategy to enhance medication adherence for patients with chronic conditions. However, little is known about the effect of the medication self-management intervention in Adult patients with multimorbidity. The aim of this study to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led medication self-management intervention in improving medication adherence and health outcomes in adult patients with multimorbidity. Methods This study is a single centre, single-blind, two-arm randomised controlled trial. Adult patients with multi-morbidity will be recruited from NCCCR Qatar. A total of 100 participants will be randomly allocated to receive standard care or standard care plus the medication self-management intervention. The intervention will be delivered by clinical nurse specialists. The 6-week intervention includes three face-to-face education sessions (2st week, 4rd week and 6th week) and two weekly (8th week and 10 week) follow-up phone calls. Participants in the control group continue to receive all respects of standard care offered by healthcare providers, including chronic disease management, drug prescription, referral to hospital specialists, health education and consultations regarding patients' diseases and treatments during centre visits. Outcome The primary outcome is medication adherence as measured by the 8-item Medication Adherence Report Scale. Secondary outcomes include medication self-management capacity (medication knowledge, medication beliefs, and medication self-efficacy), treatment experiences (medication treatment satisfaction and treatment burden). All outcomes will be measured at baseline, immediately post-intervention (7th week), and at 3-month post-intervention.
To evaluate the relation between thyroid, parathyroid hormones and estimated glomerular filtration rate in chronic kidney disease .
1. To find the correlation between different stages of CKD and type and severity of foot abnormalities in diabetic patients with CKD. 2. To assess factors that may aggravate foot abnormalities in diabetic patients with CKD by measuring serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, albumin, uric acid…etc.
The aim of the current study is to screen different causes and characteristics of Gastrointestinal bleeding in Chronic Renal Failure patients at Assuit University Hospital according to their stages based on e GFR (Stage I to IV), in order to assess different modalities of therapeutic intervention from medical therapy up to therapeutic intervention.
The COVID-19 pathology is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. In the epidemic outbreak that exploded at the beginning of 2020 in the Lombardy Region, about two thirds of the patients who died from COVID-19 were affected by diabetes mellitus. COVID-19 occurs in 70% of cases with an inflammatory pathology of the airways that can be fed by a cytokine storm and result in severe respiratory failure (10% cases) and death (5%). The pathophysiological molecular mechanisms are currently not clearly defined. It is hypothesized that the transmembrane glycoprotein type II CD26, known for the enzyme activity Dipeptilpeptidase 4 of the extracellular domain, may play a main role in this condition. It is in fact considerably expressed at the level of parenchyma and pulmonary interstitium and carries out both systemic and paracrine enzymatic activity, modulating the function of various proinflammatory cytokines, growth factors and vasoactive peptides in the deep respiratory tract. Of particular interest is the fact that Dipeptilpeptidase 4 has been identified as a cellular receptor for S glycoprotein of MERS-COV. In the case of the SARS-COV 2 virus, the main receptor is the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 protein, but a possible interaction with Dipeptilpeptidase 4 also cannot be excluded. The selective blockade of Dipeptilpeptidase 4 could therefore favorably modulate the pulmonary inflammatory response in the subject affected by COVID-19. This protein is also known for the enzymatic degradation function of the native glucagon-like peptide 1, one of the main regulators of insulin secretion. This is why it is a molecular target in the treatment of diabetes (drugs that selectively inhibit Dipeptilpeptidase 4 are marketed with an indication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes). It is believed that the use of a Dipeptilpeptidase 4 inhibitor in people with diabetes and hospitalized for Covid-19 may be safe and of particular interest for an evaluation of the effects on laboratory and instrumental indicators of inflammatory lung disease. Among the drugs that selectively block Dipeptilpeptidase 4, the one with the greatest affinity is Sitagliptin.
