Background: Many studies have shown the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on type 2 diabetes, but the effects in patients with type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with chronic kidney disease.
Methods: We conducted systematic searches of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to April 30, 2020 and included randomized controlled trials of SGLT2 inhibitors in adult type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) reporting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and/or urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) changes and/or acute kidney injury or failure (AKI). Random effects models were adopted to measure the pooled outcomes.
Results: Nine studies with 8826 participants were included. SGLT2 inhibitors were not associated with a significant change in eGFR (mean difference (MD), -0.75 ml/minutes per 1.73 m2, 95% CI -1.61 to 0.10, P = .09) in type 2 diabetic patients with CKD. UACR reduction after SGLT2 inhibitors was significant in type 2 diabetic patients with CKD (MD -24.27 mg/g, 95% CI -44.46 to -4.09, P = .02). SGLT2 inhibitors associated with AKI in the patients were significant (OR 0.80, 95% CI [0.66 to 0.98], P = .03).
Conclusion: SGLT2 inhibitors had no significant effect on kidney function (eGFR measured) in the pooled analysis. And SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduced UACR in T2DM with CKD. Besides, SGLT2 inhibitors could reduce the incidence of AKI.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, particularly in geriatric populations. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits, but their effects on stroke risk may vary by age. This study aimed to explore the age-dependent effects of SGLT2i on stroke risk in patients with AF and DM.

Background: The impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on mortality following myocardial infarction (MI) remains uncertain. Additionally, the role of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) in modulating the effectiveness of these drugs post-MI are not fully understood. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association of SGLT2 inhibitors with all-cause mortality in post-MI patients and to explore key moderators influencing this benefit.

Objective: Beyond glucose-lowering, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have cardioprotective effects with unclear mechanisms. We examined changes in an extensive panel of plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins and whether these changes were independent of weight loss, hemoglobin A1c, and hematocrit in patients treated with empagliflozin versus placebo to better understand the observed cardioprotective effects.
Methods: Post-hoc analyses of two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, the Empire HF trial including 190 patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction and the SIMPLE trial including 90 patients with type 2 diabetes randomized to, respectively, 10 mg and 25 mg empagliflozin daily or placebo for 12 weeks.
