Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is developed commonly in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease and related cardiovascular complications. Meanwhile, despite the current standard of care including optimized glucose control and the use of single-agent blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), patients with T2DM remain at increased risk for death and complications from cardiorenal causes. The recent studies using sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown not only glucose lowering effect, but also a reduction in blood pressure, weight loss, and a lowering cardiovascular risk. Regarding renal outcomes, the use of SGLT2 inhibitor slows the progression of kidney disease compared to placebo when added to standard care. However, concern has been raised that currently available SGLT2 inhibitors in Korea may be also associated with improved renal outcomes with long-term treatment. As a result, we aimed to evaluate the effect of long-term SGLT2 inhibitor treatment on renal function in the patients with T2DM using meta-analysis. (Korean J Med 2020;95:236-243)
