RESUMEN

To investigate the associations between isocarbophos and isofenphos with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to assess the mediation roles of inflammation cells. There were 2701 participants in the case-control study, including 896 patients with T2DM, 900 patients with IFG, 905 subjects with NGT. Plasma isocarbophos and isofenphos concentrations were measured using gas chromatography and triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. Generalized linear models were used to calculate the relationships between plasma isofenphos and isocarbophos levels with inflammatory factor levels and T2DM. Inflammatory cell was used as mediators to estimate the mediating effects on the above associations. Isocarbophos and isofenphos were positively related with T2DM after adjusting for other factors. The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) (OR (95%CI)) for T2DM was 1.041 (1.015, 1.068) and for IFG was 1.066 (1.009, 1.127) per unit rise in ln-isocarbophos. The prevalence of T2DM increased by 6.4% for every 1 unit more of ln-isofenphos (OR (95% CI): 1.064 (1.041, 1.087)). Additionally, a 100% rise in ln-isocarbophos was linked to 3.3% higher ln-HOMA2IR and a 0.029 mmol/L higher glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (95% CI: 0.007, 0.051). While a 100% rise in ln-isofenphos was linked to increase in ln-HOMA2 and ln-HOMA2IR of 5.8% and 3.4%, respectively. Furthermore, white blood cell (WBC) and neutrophilic (NE) were found to be mediators in the relationship between isocarbophos and T2DM, and the corresponding proportions were 17.12% and 17.67%, respectively. Isofenphos and isocarbophos are associated with IFG and T2DM in the rural Chinese population, WBC and NE have a significant role in this relationship.

RESUMEN

Mitophagy, the cellular process of selectively eliminating damaged mitochondria, plays a crucial role in maintaining metabolic balance and preventing insulin resistance, both key factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development. When mitophagy malfunctions in diabetic neuropathy, it triggers a cascade of metabolic disruptions, including reduced energy production, increased oxidative stress, and cell death, ultimately leading to various complications. Thus, targeting mitophagy to enhance the process may have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for T2DM and its complications. Notably, plant-derived compounds with ß-cell protective and mitophagy-stimulating properties offer potential as novel therapeutic agents. This review highlights the intricate mechanisms linking mitophagy dysfunction to T2DM and its complications, particularly neuropathy, elucidating potential therapeutic interventions for this debilitating disease.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent metabolic disorder associated with various postoperative complications. The association between DM and postoperative opioid use remains unclear, with conflicting evidence in the literature. This systematic review and meta-analysis comprehensively evaluated the association between DM and postoperative opioid consumption, pain sensation, and adverse effects in surgical patients. METHODS: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a systematic search of electronic databases identified studies investigating the relationship between DM and postoperative pain outcomes. Eligible studies, both prospective and retrospective, were included based on the predefined criteria. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by the authors. Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager 5. RESULTS: Among 100 initially identified articles, five studies met the inclusion criteria. In the meta-analysis, 473 participants were included. The results indicated that patients with DM had significantly higher postoperative opioid consumption (standardized mean difference, 0.79; 95% confidence interval, 0.26-1.31; P = 0.003) than those in the control group, with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 83%). No significant differences in postoperative pain scale scores at rest or during movement were observed. Adverse effects, including nausea, vomiting, and pruritus, showed varied outcomes, whereas overall satisfaction did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis provides evidence that patients with DM undergoing surgery consume more opioids postoperatively. Understanding the association between DM and pain management is crucial for optimizing perioperative care in this patient population.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To examine the hepatic effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) through a head-to-head comparison with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) or thiazolidinediones (TZD) in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). DESIGN: This population-based cohort study was conducted using a nationwide healthcare claims database (2014-2022) of Korea. We included individuals with MASLD (aged ≥40 years) who initiated SGLT-2i or comparator drugs (GLP-1RA or TZD). Primary outcome was a composite of hepatic decompensation events, including ascites, oesophageal varices with bleeding, hepatic failure or liver transplant. Liver-cause death and all-cause death were also assessed as secondary outcomes. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimated HRs with 95% CIs. RESULTS: After 1:1 propensity score matching, we included 22 550 patients who initiated SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA (median age=57 years, 60% male), and 191 628 patients who initiated SGLT-2i and TZD (median age=57 years, 72% male). Compared with GLP-1RA, SGLT-2i showed a similar risk of hepatic decompensation events (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.14). Compared with TZD, SGLT-2i demonstrated a reduced risk of hepatic decompensation events (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.82). As compared with TZD, the results of secondary analyses showed significantly lower hepatic decompensation event risks with SGLT-2i when stratified by sex (male: HR 0.87 (95% CI 0.80-0.94); female: HR 0.62 (95% CI 0.55-0.69)). CONCLUSIONS: In this nationwide cohort study, SGLT-2i was associated with a lower risk of hepatic decompensation events in patients with MASLD compared with TZD, while demonstrating similar effectiveness to GLP-1RA.

RESUMEN

Abnormal lipid metabolism is one of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus peripheral neuropathy (DPN). This study aimed to determine the differences in lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes and DPN and the possible pathogenesis caused by this difference. The participants comprised type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with DPN (N = 60) and healthy controls (N = 20). Blood samples were drawn from the participants in the morning in the fasting state, and then changes in serum lipids were explored using targeted metabolomics on the liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry platform. Among the 1768 differentially abundant lipid metabolites, the results of orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis combined with random forest analysis showed that the levels of sphingosine (SPH) (d18:0), carnitine 22:1, lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) (18:0/0:0), LPC (16:0/0:0), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) (18:1/0:0), LPC (0:0/18:0) and LPE (0:0/18:1) were significantly different between the two groups. Spearman correlation analysis showed that SPH (d18:0), carnitine 22:1, LPE (18:0/0:0), and LPC (0:0/18:0) levels correlated highly with the patients' electromyography results. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway annotation and enrichment analysis of 538 differentially abundant lipid metabolites revealed that type 2 diabetes mellitus DPN was related to glycerophospholipid metabolism and glycerol metabolism. Our results further identified the dangerous lipid metabolites associated with DPN and abnormal lipid metabolism. The influence of lipid metabolites such as SPH and phospholipid molecules on DPN development in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were suggested and the possible pathogenic pathways were clarified, providing new insights into the clinical risk of DPN in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

RESUMEN

Proper fetal development requires tight regulation of serotonin concentrations within the fetoplacental unit. This homeostasis is partly maintained by the placental transporter OCT3/SLC22A3, which takes up serotonin from the fetal circulation. Metformin, an antidiabetic drug commonly used to treat gestational diabetes mellitus, was shown to inhibit OCT3. We, therefore, hypothesized that its use during pregnancy could disrupt placental serotonin homeostasis. This hypothesis was tested using three experimental model systems: primary trophoblast cells isolated from the human term placenta, fresh villous human term placenta fragments, and rat term placenta perfusions. Inhibition of serotonin transport by metformin at three concentrations (1 µM, 10 µM, and 100 µM) was assessed in all three models. The OCT3 inhibitor decynium-22 (100 µM) and paroxetine (100 µM), a dual inhibitor of SERT and OCT3, were used as controls. In primary trophoblasts, paroxetine exhibited the strongest inhibition of serotonin uptake, followed by decynium-22. Metformin showed a concentration-dependent effect, reducing serotonin uptake by up to 57 % at the highest concentration. Its inhibitory effect was less pronounced in fresh villous fragments but remained statistically significant at all concentrations. In the perfused rat placenta, metformin demonstrated a concentration-dependent effect, reducing placental serotonin uptake by 44 % at the highest concentration tested. Our findings across all experimental models show inhibition of placental OCT3 by metformin, resulting in reduced serotonin uptake by the trophoblast. This sheds light on mechanisms that may underpin metformin-mediated effects on fetal development.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Bariatric and metabolic surgery have been routinely performed following the rapid increase in obesity and metabolic diseases worldwide. Of all evolving procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is considered the gold standard for surgical treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. RYGB was introduced in China nearly 20 years ago, but the number of RYGB surgeries only accounts for 3.1% of the total number of weight loss and metabolic surgeries in China, it's effect on Chinese people still needs further study. AIM: To investigate the effect and safety of a modified gastric bypass performed in Chinese patients with T2DM. METHODS: Patients with obesity and T2DM who underwent modified gastric bypass, with > 5-year follow-up data, were analyzed. RESULTS: All 37 patients underwent uneventful laparoscopic surgery, no patient was switched to laparotomy during the surgery, and no severe complications were reported. Average weight and body mass index of the patients reduced from 84.6 ± 17.3 (60.0-140.0) kg and 30.9 ± 5.0 (24.7-46.2) kg/m2 to 67.1 ± 12.2 (24.7-46.2) kg and 24.6 ± 3.9 (17.7-36.5) kg/m2, respectively, and fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin decreased from 7.4 ± 3.4 mmol/L and 8.2% ± 1.7% preoperatively to 6.5 ± 1.3 mmol/L and 6.5% ± 0.9% 5-years postoperatively, respectively. Only 29.7% (11/37) of the patients used hypoglycemic drugs 5-years postoperatively, and the complete remission rate of T2DM was 29.7% (11/37). Triglyceride level reduced significantly but high-density lipoprotein increased significantly (both P < 0.05) compared with those during the preoperative period. Liver and renal function improved significantly postoperatively, and binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the patients' preoperative history of T2DM and fasting C-peptide were significant prognostic factors influencing complete T2DM remission after RYGB (P = 0.006 and 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSION: The modified gastric bypass is a safe and feasible procedure for Chinese patients with obesity and T2DM, exhibiting satisfactory amelioration of weight problems, hyperglycemia, and combination disease.

RESUMEN

In this paper, we measured B cell function in elderly healthy individuals (EH) and in elderly patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM, ET2DM), which are treatment-naive, as compared to healthy young (YH) individuals. Results show a higher serum inflammatory status of elderly versus young individuals, and especially of ET2DM versus EH. This status is associated with a reduced response to the seasonal influenza vaccine and with increased frequencies of the circulating pro-inflammatory B cell subset called Double Negative (DN) B cells. B cells from ET2DM patients are not only more inflammatory but also hyper-metabolic as compared to those from EH controls. The results herein are to our knowledge the first to show that T2DM superimposed on aging further increases systemic and B cell intrinsic inflammation, as well as dysfunctional humoral immunity. Our findings confirm and extend our previously published findings showing that inflammatory B cells are metabolically supported.

RESUMEN

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of light-dark cycle alteration and soft drink consumption on the acceleration of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) development among non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice model. Methods: We exposed female NOD and C57BL/6 mice from the age of 5 weeks to either adlib soft drink consumption and/or T20 light-dark cycle alteration until the development of diabetes, or the mice reached the age of 30 weeks. Each group consisted of 7-15 mice. We monitored weight, length, blood glucose level, and insulin autoantibody (IAA) levels weekly. Results: Out of 75 NOD and 22 C57BL/6 mice, 41 NOD mice developed diabetes, and 6 mice died between 7 and 8 weeks of age. The mean time to development of T1DM among NOD control mice was 20 weeks. The time to development of T1DM was accelerated by two weeks in the NOD mice exposed to light-dark cycle alteration, hazard ratio of 2.65,95th CI (0.70, 10.04) p = 0.15). The other groups developed T1DM, similar to the control group. Conclusion: There was a trend toward earlier development of T1DM among NOD mice exposed to light-dark cycle alteration, but this difference was not statistically significant. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings using larger sample sizes and different animal species.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Migraine, a debilitating neurological disorder characterized by recurrent headaches, affects over 1.1 billion individuals globally. Diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic condition marked by high blood sugar levels, affects 463 million individuals according to the International Diabetes Federation. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between migraine and DM and to identify several demographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors, as well as medical and psychiatric comorbidities, associated with migraine among individuals with DM. Methods: This cross-sectional study is based on data from the European Health Interview Surveys conducted in 2009, 2014, and 2019 in Hungary. Pearson's chi-squared tests and multiple logistic regression models were used to assess associations. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: In multiple regression analyses, we found no significant association between DM and migraine after adjusting for socioeconomic status, various health conditions, and lifestyle factors (OR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.66-1.06). However, adults with DM who had comorbid conditions including stroke (OR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.06-4.08), low back pain (OR=3.52, 95% CI: 2.13-5.84), and depression (OR=4.91, 95% CI: 2.84-8.47) were significantly more likely to suffer from migraine. Discussion: Our study found no significant difference in the prevalence of migraine among adults with and without diabetes mellitus. However, several comorbidities were found to be significantly associated with migraine occurrence in those with DM. Thus, the study's results highlight the need for proper management of diabetes, especially in terms of comorbidities, to mitigate migraine risk factors and improve patient outcomes.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Testosterone is a metabolically active hormone in males for metabolic homeostasis. Although the coexistence of low testosterone levels and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been associated, there are no reports that evaluate alterations in total testosterone (TT) levels and the risk of newly diagnosed T2DM. This review evaluates this question in adult men with high or low levels of total testosterone (TT), as well as the role played by other hormones such as free testosterone (FT), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estrogens and testosterone bioavailable (bT). METHODS: We searched for studies published up to July 30, 2023, in five databases, following a PECO strategy. We found twenty-two studies for quantitative analysis and meta-analyzed the same quantity of studies. RESULTS: This first meta-analysis incorporates the assessment of the risk of low TT and T2DM in longitudinal studies. 43,038 adult men are included. Our meta-analysis shows that there is an association between low TT levels and the risk of newly diagnosed T2DM (OR 1.52; 95% CI 1.10-2.10; p < 0.05; I²: 79%). It is also evident that SHBG in low TT studies behaves as a risk factor for T2DM in the same way as FT, although without statistical significance. bT behaves as a protective factor. There is no association between estrogen, DHT and T2DM. CONCLUSIONS: In adult men with low TT values, there is a greater risk of developing a newly diagnosed of T2DM. SHBG values in low TT patients also present a higher risk of T2DM as the same FT but without statistical significance. bT behaves as a protective factor We have not found an association between risk of T2DM and the levels of estrogen, DHT although there are very few studies that report these hormones.

RESUMEN

Diabetes is a complex disease, despite the availability of numerous treatments, its progression and complications can only be mitigated and managed to a certain extent. After the onset, diabetes cannot be reversed. Its global expansion makes it challenging for governments to control the considerable costs of treating people with diabetes. Many studies have been carried out by widely recognized pharmaceutical companies that are considering the development of new drugs for diabetic treatments. Diets, sedentary habits, and lifestyles that are currently prevalent have an enormous influence on the global spread of diabetes. The tools available to clinicians for therapy do not solve the problem. It is known that a patient, when diagnosed, would already have had diabetes for more than three years. Studies on diabetes signaling consider the effects of hyperglycemia but also highlight the roles of insulin receptor activation and resistance. Understanding the intricate signaling network and its interactions with hyperglycemiainduced pathways is crucial. In this context, the cyclic AMP/AMPK axis emerges as a promising therapeutic target for diabetes. However, there is a noticeable lack of literature exploring the metabolic network induced by hyperglycemia and its interconnected pathways. Therefore, investigating the cyclic cAMP/AMPK axis could provide valuable insights, given its complex connections with various metabolic pathways. This mini-review aims to delve into the metabolic signaling of the AMPK/cAMP axis in the context of diabetes, highlighting its metabolic interactions and potential implications.

RESUMEN

Gut microbial metabolites have been demonstrated to play a role in diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to investigate gut microbiome, fecal metabolomics, and their association in pregnant women with and without GDM. The metabolome indicated that the top 2 differential metabolic pathways between control (Con) and GDM groups were phenylalanine metabolism and nucleotide metabolism. The increased Phenylalanylglycine, m-coumaric acid, and Phenylacetic acid were among the top differential metabolites between Con and GDM groups and involved in phenylalanine metabolism. Uracil and hypoxanthine were top differential metabolites in Con vs. GDM and involved in nucleotide metabolism. The proficiently altered gut microbiota at the class level was c_unclassified_ Firmicutes. Association analysis between gut microbiota and fecal metabolites indicated that the increased gut symbiont Clostridium belonged to Firmicutes and was linked to the dysregulation of phenylalanine metabolism in GDM. This study may provide the mechanism underlying how Clostridium-phenylalanine metabolism association contributes to GDM pathogenesis and also be a novel therapeutic strategy to treat GDM.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the underlying factors contributing to unfavourable clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated by new-onset acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of DM on the pathophysiologic features and prognosis of patients with new-onset AMI following successful revascularization by utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS: Consecutive patients diagnosed with new-onset AMI between June 2022 and January 2024 were included. All patients underwent culprit vessel revascularization upon admission and CMR imaging 3-7 days later. The primary clinical endpoint of this study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), for which the average follow-up was 10 months. RESULTS: A total of 72 patients were divided into a DM group (n = 23) and a non-DM group (n = 49). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that DM was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of microvascular obstruction. Multivariate linear regression analysis found that DM was the influencing factor of global radial strain (B = -4.107, t = -2.328, p = 0.023), while fasting blood glucose influenced infarct segment myocardial radial strain (B = -0.622, t = -2.032, p = 0.046). DM independently contributed to the risk of MACCEs following successful revascularization in patients with AMI (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Comprehensive phenotypic characterization of myocardial injury and microcirculatory status could enable reliable identification of high-risk MACCEs in DM patients with new-onset AMI following successful revascularization.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Gated SPECT is an established technique for assessment of left ventricular function in cardiovascular disease patients. However, there is little information about the influence of diabetes mellitus on gated SPECT parameters. This study was established to assess gated SPECT parameters in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and non-diabetes mellitus (non-DM) patients with normal Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI). METHODS: In this analytical cross-sectional study, 314 patients (157 DM, 157 non-DM) with normal MPI were enrolled. Prevalence of risk factors for CAD like hypertension (HTN), and dyslipidemia were found to be significantly higher (p <0.01) in DM patients compared to non-DM. RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was observed among the TID, ESV, EDV, PFR, TTPF, and Wall Thickness (WT) parameters between DM and non-DM patients. Wall motion (Wm) in DM patients was significantly higher compared to non-DM patients. (3.9 ± 0.51 vs. 2.69 ± 0.48 for DM and non-DM patients, respectively, p-value:0.01). Also, there was no significant difference in Wm in the two groups with and without HTN. This shows the independent effect of DM on the Wm. CONCLUSION: This study believes that the Wm parameter should be noted for the early diagnosis or prevention of heart disease in DM patients. These findings can indicate the gradual changes in the movements of the left ventricle and the beginning of the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

RESUMEN

Early detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an urgent ophthalmological problem in Russia and globally. PURPOSE: This study assesses the prevalence of asymptomatic retinopathy and attempts to identify risk groups for its development in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study involved clinics from 5 cities in the Russian Federation and it included 367 patients with DM, 34.88% men and 65.12% women, aged 50.88±20.55 years. 34.88% of patients suffered from T1DM, 65.12% suffered from T2DM, the average duration of the disease was 9.02±7.22 years. 58.31% of patients had a history of arterial hypertension, 13.08% had a history of smoking. The primary endpoint was the frequency of detection of diabetic changes in the eye fundus of patients with T1DM and T2DM in general; the secondary endpoint - same but separately, and for T2DM patients depending on the duration of the disease. The exploratory endpoint was the assessment of the influence of various factors on the development of DR. The patients underwent visometry (modified ETDRS table), biomicroscopy, mydriatic fundus photography according to the «2 fields¼ protocol. RESULTS: The average detection rate of DR was 12.26%, primarily observed in patients with T2DM (13.81%), women (9.26%), in both eyes (8.17%). Among patients with DR, 26 (19.55%) had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level exceeding 7.5% (p=0.002), indicating a direct relationship between this indicator and the incidence of DR. Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes of more than 10 years has a statistically significant effect on the development of DR. In the modified model for odds estimation, the likelihood of developing DR is increased by the duration of DM for more than 10 years; increased blood pressure; HbA1c level >7.5%. CONCLUSION: The obtained results, some of which will be presented in subsequent publications, highlight the effectiveness of using two-field mydriatic fundus photography as a screening for DR.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with several adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Previous studies reported a link between altered sleep and risk of GDM. This systematic review aims to collate evidence on the association between impaired sleep quality and duration, and the risk of GDM. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched up to January 20, 2024. Studies reporting the association between impaired sleep quality and duration and risk of GDM were included. Sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Random-effects meta-analysis was performed, and the results were reported as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: 19 studies were included. Meta-analysis revealed a significant increase in the risk of GDM in pregnant women with poor sleep quality (i.e. <5 PSQI) (HR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.26 - 1.78, p < .001). Sleep duration of <7 h (HR: 1.56, 95% CI.: 1.20 - 2.01, p < .001), and >8 h (HR: 2.32, 95% CI.: 1.19 - 4.50, p = .01) were also associated with a significantly higher incidence of GDM. CONCLUSION: Sleep quality and duration emerge as critical risk factors of GDM. Healthcare practitioners should consider targeted interventions to improve sleep hygiene as a potential measure for GDM prevention.

RESUMEN

This meta-analysis investigated efficacy of dapagliflozin as adjunctive therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 2-5. A systematic search was conducted of selected databases for randomised controlled trials that reported the mean change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) from baseline. Out of 1,682 identified studies, 9 trials comprising 13,057 patients were included. A pooled estimate of 5 studies indicated that dapagliflozin did not affect eGFR; however, in 2 studies, it significantly reduced chronic eGFR decline compared to placebo (mean difference [MD] ± 2.74; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.55, 3.92; P <0.00001). Additionally, a pooled estimate of 4 studies showed that dapagliflozin significantly reduced UACR (MD -23.99%; 95% CI: -34.82--13.15; P <0.0001; I2 = 0%). Therefore, long-term use of dapagliflozin significantly attenuates eGFR decline and reduces albuminuria in patients with T2DM and CKD.
