Filter by:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a syndrome of metabolic dysregulation that needs a multifactorial behavioral and pharmacological treatments to prevent or delay complications, morbidity and mortality. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia can be negatively affecting the patient's physical and psychological status and thus lower the patient's quality of life (QoL) (Verma & Dadarwal, 2017)(Vanstone et al., 2015)(Gebremedhin et al., 2019). According to American Diabetes Association (ADA), when hyperglycaemia remain uncontrolled (HbA1c ≥1.5% above the glycemic target), a second therapy for T2DM is needed (Davies et al., 2022). It has been certained by ADA, beside the glucose lowering effect the add-on antidibetic medication should have an impact on weight management to achieve and maintain the optimum glycemic and weight control which are the goals in people without established cardiorenal risks (Vijan et al., 2014((Inzucchi et al., 2012). Although metformin still the first-line pharmacotherapy in most T2DM patients, according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) (Association, 2020) but has little or even weight neutral effect, as well as gliptins (Hermansen & Mortensen, 2007)(Sazan et al., 2012). Other old antidibetic classes such as thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and sulfonylureas (SUs) inspite of their efficacy in controlling glycemia but their use is associated with weight gain and other adverse effects (Derosa & Maffioli, 2010)(Najim et al., 2014)(Fonseca, 2003). However, The newest class of antidibetic drugs, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), are approved for the treatment of T2DM as add-on or even initial therapy (Tamez-Pérez et al., 2013). This class is act by inducing glycosuria and thus improving glycemic status without affecting insulin level (Merovci et al., 2015). Dapagliflozin is a highly selective inhibitor of SGLT2. It has been well tolerated and its safety and efficacy approved in the clinical trials, mostly on cardio-renal outcomes with additional benefits of weight loss and low risk of hypoglycemia (Heerspink et al., 2020)(Solomon et al., 2022)(Wiviott et al., 2019)(McMurray et al., 2019). To date, no clinical data regarding SGLT2i recorded in Iraqi patients with limited data available on Arabic population. On Qatari, assessment of Dapagliflozin effectiveness revealed a significant improvement in the glycemic status after 6 months when used in combination with standard therapy, a reduction (Al AdAwi et al., 2019). In Saudi Arabia, Dapagliflozin was found to be well-tolerated and effective treatment option for T2DM patients after 6 months (Alguwaihes, 2021).
The purpose of the real-world observational prospective study is to access the renoprotective effects of dulaglutide as well as to explore corresponding mechanisms in patients with Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most frequent microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, affecting 25 to 40% of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Early diagnosis, appropriate patient follow-up and treatment are essential to improve the outcomes. There is a need for improvements in insulin therapy for people with T1DM as the majority of patients are struggling to achieve glycemic targets. Technological advancements and oral adjuncts to insulin therapies are starting to be licensed for the use of people with T1DM. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), a multifunctional serine protease with a dual function (regulatory protease and binding protein), can modulate inflammation and immune cell-mediated β-cell destruction. DPP-4 degrades the peptide hormones glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP). Several studies have suggested that the upregulated DPP-4 activity is correlated with T1DM pathophysiology.
108 patients underwent elective SPK surgery were randomly divided into ERAS group (E) and routine care group (T). The ERAS group was consisted of evidenced-based systematic optimization approaches, while the control group received routine care.
The investigators conducted this randomized-controlled trial to assess the effect of oral omega-3 supplementation on glycemic control, lipid profile, albuminuria level, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) to participants who were pediatric patients with T1DM and diabetic nephropathy.
This study investigated the beneficial effects of soybean on the renal function, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses in patients with end-stage diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Detecting diabetes-related kidney diseases early is crucial to prevent end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Existing biomarkers' specificity and sensitivity vary, emphasizing the need for novel markers. This research assesses urinary uromodulin levels and its gene expression, aiming to identify a potential marker for early diabetic nephropathy (DN) detection in type 2 diabetes patients. Uromodulin, encoded by the UMOD gene, is expressed mainly in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop epithelial cells, making it a promising candidate for early DN detection and progression towards ESRD, potentially reducing chronic kidney disease prevalence.
The Investigators will generate a repository of human biosamples across therapeutic areas that will be used to identify disease-associated biomarkers and potential targets with immune and multi-omics profiling. This sample collection and analysis from people living with type 2 diabetes, or chronic or diabetic kidney disease will lay the groundwork for an extensive network of biosample access and linked datasets that will provide an invaluable resource for translational research.
The Safety, Tolerability Pharmacokinetic and Food Effect Study of HEC73077 in Healthy Subjects
According to the different epidemiological studies in Mexico the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy is 9.1%-40% in diabetic patients, however the complication is subdiagnosed when we see the numbers of uncontrolled diabetics (75%) and patients that are under continuous screening to prevent complications development (only 12.6% had an annual albuminuria measurement). In addition, Mexican have an increased susceptibility to developing diabetic nephropathy. These data highlight the need to identify new biomarkers that could help us to identify those patients at high risk for developing diabetic nephropathy, in order to take preventing measures to delay the progress of the disease to CKD and improve the quality of the patients. Thus, the comparison of transcriptomic profile between diabetic patients with and without diabetic nephropathy is the first step to characterize this complication. In addition, we will be able to identify diabetic nephropathy biomarkers for development of new diagnostic tools and even to find therapeutic targets in Mexican from Hospital Juárez de México.
