Clinical Trial Description

Objectives To study serum klotho level among diabetic patients attending diabetes and endocrine clinic in Fayoum university on oral antidiabetic treatment

Study Design:

This study will be an observational prospective cohort study. The study duration will be 2 months.

Study Methods:

- Population of Study

- Group 1 :compare serum klotho levels in patients taking glimeperirde versus levels in patients taking metformin

- Group 2 : compare serum klotho levels in patients taking glimeperirde versus levels in patients taking linagliptin

- Group 3 : compare serum klotho levels in patients taking glimeperirde versus levels in patients taking impaglifluzin

- Inclusion Criteria :

- Group 1 :Diabetics candidate for oral treatment

There will be three arms to this study; the first arm will enroll patients on glimepiride and patients on metformin to compare serum klotho levels. The second arm will enroll patients on glimepiride and patients on linagliptin to compare serum klotho levels. The third arm will enroll patients on glimepiride and patients on impaglifluzin to compare serum klotho levels Each arm will enroll 40 patients, 20 patients on glimiperide treatment,20 patient will on the other drug,patients will be selected from Fayoum university diabetes and endocrine clinic

Data collection:

Patients will be subjected to; full clinical examination,waist hip ratio assessment,BMI assessment fasting blood glucose,2PP blood glucose,HbA1C, urea, creatinine, uric acid total calcium,albumin, phospherus, estimated GFR, ACR, total cholesterol, triglycerides, serum klotho, FGF 23 levels assessment , also fracrtional excretion of phospherus will be assessed. Control of blood glucose will be done along the period of the study. At the end of the 2 months,reassessment of the above mentioned parameters will be done. ;
