Background: Adequate fluid removal to achieve euvolemic status can be difficult in patients with incident peritoneal dialysis (PD). Limited treatments such as increased high dextrose PD solutions and icodextrin are currently available. We reported four incident PD patients whose' ultrafiltration volume was increased after sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.
Case Presentation: The four reported cases were diabetic kidney disease stage 5 (cases 1-3) and IgA nephritis (case 4) patients whostartedt PD because of acute pulmonary edema (case 1 and 3), nausea vomiting (case 2), and hyperkalemia (case 4). They had an ultrafiltration volume of 700-1000 ml per day but hpersistentted peripheral pitting edema or pulmonary edema. Their ultrafiltration volincreased after dapagliflozin 5 mg daily, and the fluid overload symptoms ere improved. No hypotension, or hypoglycemia was found, and the urine was not increased during dapagliflozin treatment.
Conclusions: SGLT-2 inhibitors may increase ultrafiltration in incident PD patients. More studies are needed to support the safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors in PD patients.

Introduction: In diabetics, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA) may protect against microvascular alterations and oxidative stress, both of which have been implicated in glaucoma. Multiple studies suggest a possible relation between GLP-1 RA use and the development of glaucoma. This study performs a systematic review of the literature regarding the incidence of glaucoma development in type 2 diabetes patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists compared to a control group.

Background: Acute Heart Failure (AHF) presents as a serious pathophysiological disease with significant morbidity and mortality rates, requiring immediate medical intervention. Traditional treatment involves diuretics and vasodilators, but a subset of patients develop resistance due to acute cardiorenal syndrome. Dapagliflozin, categorized as a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), has emerged as a promising therapy for AHF, demonstrating substantial benefits in reducing both mortality and morbidity among patients.

Sodium-glucose co-transport protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a novel category of oral hypoglycemic agents, offer a promising outlook for individuals experiencing heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Evidence is emerging that highlights their potential in alleviating myocardial fibrosis and oxidative stress. However, the precise mechanisms through which SGLT2 inhibitors influence myocardial fibrosis induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) or transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) are not fully understood.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are the only medications that improve clinical outcomes regardless of baseline left ventricular ejection fraction. Despite the recognized effectiveness of SGLT-2 inhibitors, there remains a paucity of research on the discontinuation of these medications. The objective of this study is to analyze the rate of discontinuation of SGLT-2 inhibitors, to evaluate the impact of discontinuation on the clinical outcome, and to identify the factors associated with discontinuation.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease associated with numerous complications, including cardiovascular diseases, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, a class of novel antidiabetic agents, have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects beyond glycemic control, with potential benefits extending to the cardiovascular and renal systems. Recently, research has increasingly focused on exploring the potential role of SGLT-2 inhibitors in preventing dementia.
