Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on how elobixibat affects constipation and cholesterol levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3 to 5.
  • - After 4 weeks of treatment, patients experienced a significant increase in stool frequency and improvements in their LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, while triglycerides stayed the same.
  • - The only factor linked to changes in stool frequency was phosphate levels, and the treatment had minimal adverse effects, indicating it can safely benefit patients with CKD.

Purpose: We compared the efficacy of teneligliptin versus linagliptin for glycemic control and renoprotection in patients with advanced-stage diabetic kidney disease.

Patients And Methods: Changes in the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose concentration, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during a 12-month period were retrospectively analyzed after switching from linagliptin to teneligliptin in 13 patients with advanced-stage diabetic kidney disease (teneligliptin group). Thirteen propensity score-matched patients who were treated with linagliptin alone served as controls (linagliptin group).

We investigated the effects of roxadustat on the anemia, iron metabolism, peritoneal membrane function, and residual renal function; and determined the factors associated with the administration of roxadustat in patients who were undergoing peritoneal dialysis. We retrospectively analyzed the changes in hemoglobin, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), 4-h dialysate/plasma creatinine, and renal weekly urea clearance over the 24 weeks following the change from an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) to roxadustat in 16 patients who were undergoing peritoneal dialysis and had anemia (Roxadustat group). Twenty-three peritoneal dialysis patients who had anemia and continued ESA served as a control group (ESA group).
