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 main purpose of this study is to explore the improvement of renal function before and after the intervention of dorzagliatin in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of low-dose aspirin (50 mg/day) in renal and cardiac function protection in people with diabetic nephropathy.
Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes, and also an important cause of death and disability of diabetes patients. There is no specific clinical staging of type 2 diabetes nephropathy at home and abroad, and there is no comprehensive study to comprehensively describe the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes nephropathy through sensitive biomarkers, microvascular disease imaging and functional detection, digital markers and other multi-dimensional diagnosis and evaluation methods. Therefore, our research aims to establish a long-term follow-up queue for the whole cycle of diabetes nephropathy, develop multi-dimensional diagnostic and progress digital markers for diabetes nephropathy, develop a multimodal non-invasive diagnostic model and a new clinical staging/typing, and create a multi-dimensional accurate diagnosis and treatment system for type 2 diabetes nephropathy combining traditional Chinese and western medicine.
The objective of this study is to investigate and compare the safety and efficacy of selective (PDE5) enzyme inhibitor; tadalafil and non selective (PDE) inhibitor; pentoxifylline in diabetic nephropathy to improve glucose metabolism, lipid profile and decrease albuminuria.
Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease worldwide. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a clinical diagnosis based upon the presence of reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and/or increased urinary albumin excretion (UACR) in diabetes. The inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been identified as the cornerstone in the management of DKD for decades. Recently, more evidence supports the use of Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in the treatment of DKD. They were associated with slower progression of renal disease and lower rates of clinically relevant kidney events. Those studies confirmed the SGLT2i efficacy in kidney protection and showed that their addition to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBS) will be more effective than using ACEi or ARBS alone. It is unclear whether SGLT2i is used as a first-line instead of ACEi or ARB, and to what extent it will be effective in managing DKD compared to the proven effect of ACEi/ARBs alone. This study provides a unique opportunity to address this gap in the literature. The aim of this study is to compare, head to head, the renal performance of ACEi (standard of care) versus SGLT2 in diabetic patients who have evidence of deteriorating renal function evidenced by either the reduction of e GFR or increased UACR. Scientific hypotheses: Null hypothesis: after one year, the mean change of the e GFR in the enalapril group - Mean change of the e GFR in the empagliflozin group > or = 5 ml/min/1.73m2 Alternative hypothesis: after one year, the mean change of the e GFR in the enalapril group - Mean change of the e GFR in the empagliflozin group < 5 ml/min/1.73m2
At present, the early diagnosis ability of diabetic nephropathy (DKD) is relatively poor, leading to some missed diagnosis of early disease patients. At the same time, because DKD patients have complex metabolic disorders, once they develop to end-stage renal disease, compared with other renal diseases, the treatment of DKD is more difficult and the prognosis is poor. At present, the main treatment for DKD is to strengthen blood glucose control and control blood pressure through renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) to delay the occurrence and development of DKD, but it can not reduce the risk of most patients progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In recent years, it is becoming a new therapeutic target for DKD to control the inflammatory response by targeting the inflammatory factors and inflammatory signaling pathways. Therefore, this study attempts to explore the correlation between N / OFQ and the occurrence and development of type 2 DKD, and seek new theoretical basis for the potential treatment of inflammation.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major microvascular complications associated with diabetic patients, and also the major global cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are currently recognized clinical indicators for early diagnosis of DN, however, the sensitivity and specificity are unsatisfactory. The early identification and treatment of DKD are conducive to lowering the risk of kidney damage by as much as 50%. Therefore, it is particularly critical to find new biomarkers to reflect the potential DKD lesions in the clinical silent period earlier and more accurately. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the differentially expressed lipids in early DKD, T2DM and healthy adults by mass spectrometry, and verify the related results by larger samples, so as to screen out early markers of DKD and achieve the ultimate goal of clinical application.
The AFFINITY Study is a phase 2, open-label, basket study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrasentan in patients with proteinuric glomerular disease who are at risk of progressive loss of renal function.
Background: Diabetes, and especially diabetic kidney disease is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease such as calcification in the coronary arteries and heart failure. Sleep apnea is frequent among patients with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease and sleep apnea itself is a solitary risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, sleep apnea is underdiagnosed in diabetes patients because of a discrepancy between sleep apnea severity and actual oxygen deficiency symptoms which makes the diagnosis difficult. For that reason, many diabetics have undiagnosed sleep apnea together with cardiovascular disease. Early discovery of sleep apnea among high risk diabetic patients may therefore be considered crucial before cardiovascular complications develop. For this reason, sleep apnea screening of high-risk diabetics can possibly improve early diagnostics of cardiovascular disease. Aim: This study will seek to establish the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coronary calcification and heart failure in patients with diabetic kidney disease. The basic hypothesis of the study is that patients with diabetic kidney disease and concurrent OSA have a higher prevalence and severity of coronary calcification and heart failure compared to patients without OSA. Methods: Diabetic adult patients with scheduled check-ups at Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, or Department of Renal Medicine on Aarhus University Hospital will be included in the study. Firstly, all included patients are screened for sleep apnea with the devices SomnoTouch® and ApneaLink®. Based on the sleep apnea determination; 40 patients with moderate-severe sleep apnea are compared with 40 patients without sleep apnea. In both groups, the patients are examined for calcification in the coronary vessels using a CT-scan while the function of the heart is examined by ultrasound (echocardiography). The stiffness of aorta is measured and performed using radial artery tonometry (SphygmoCor®). Furthermore, range of blood- and urine samples will be performed The perspectives are that patients with diabetes should be regularly evaluated for sleep apnea and that patients with moderate/severe sleep apnea should undergo further examination for cardiovascular disease even though the patients don't display any symptoms of either cardiovascular disease or sleep apnea.
