ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, has shown results in slowing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and reducing proteinuria in adult patients with chronic kidney disease. This retrospective study examines dapagliflozin's effects in 22 children with kidney disease and proteinuria.

METHODS:

Children with a median age of 15.6 years were treated with dapagliflozin for > 3 months between July 2022 and December 2023. All children had been treated with either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker for at least 1 month before starting dapagliflozin.

RESULTS:

The most common kidney disease diagnoses in this study included Alport syndrome (n = 7) and medication-resistant nephrotic syndrome or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (n = 7). After 6.1 months of treatment, dapagliflozin treatment did not result in significant changes in eGFR or proteinuria. However, at the latest follow-up, a statistically significant decrease in eGFR was noted (65.5 compared to the baseline 71.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, P = 0.003). Proteinuria remained stable between baseline and the last follow-up (final spot urine protein/creatinine ratio (uPCR) 0.7 vs. baseline uPCR 0.6 mg/mg, P = 0.489). In the subgroup analysis of children treated for > 8 months, the eGFR decline post-treatment changed from - 0.5 to - 0.2 ml/min/1.73 m2 per month (P = 0.634). Only two children discontinued dapagliflozin due to suspected adverse events.

CONCLUSIONS:

Dapagliflozin has not been associated with serious side effects. Further prospective clinical trials are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in children with kidney disease.
