Identification of risk factors associated with acute kidney injury in patients taking sodium ‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors
ConclusionsThe transient eGFR decline with SGLT2 inhibitor initiation should be expected and is generally not an indication to discontinue therapy. Future initiatives should be directed at increasing knowledge of monitoring recommendations for these agents. (Source: Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy)

Real-World Eligibility and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Empagliflozin for Heart Failure in Korea
CONCLUSION: There is a large discrepancy in real-world eligibility for empagliflozin between FDA & EMA labels and clinical trial criteria. Empagliflozin is cost-effective in HF patients regardless of ejection fraction in South Korea health care setting. The efficacy and safety of empagliflozin in real-world HF patients should be further investigated for a broader range of clinical applications.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01389843.PMID:38193327 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e8 (Source: J Korean Med Sci)

The Effect of Sodium –Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Renal Function as Adjunctive to Insulin in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: An Updated Multilevel Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
ConclusionOur findings suggest that adjunctive therapy with SGLT inhibitors results in a significant reduction in albuminuria, while their use is associated with a neutral effect on creatinine clearance, as a measure of renal function. Future renal outcome trials are needed to assess SGLT inhibitors ’ role in the pharmacological armamentarium against diabetic nephropathy in T1D. (Source: Diabetes Therapy)

Rates of diabetic ketoacidosis with empagliflozin use during hospitalization for acute heart failure
AbstractThere is concern that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors  during hospitalization for acute heart failure (aHF) may precipitate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). A retrospective study of all hospitalization encounters for aHF defined by a primary HF International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 code in 15 Kaiser Permanente Southern California medical cente rs hospitalized between January 1, 2021 and August 31, 2023 was performed to describe rates of DKA with empagliflozin use. DKA was defined by the presence of either a DKA ICD-10 code or ketoacidosis lab criteria (bicarbonate<18  mmol/L and urine ketone...

Empagliflozin Improves Vascular Insulin Sensitivity and Muscle Perfusion in Persons with Type 2 Diabetes
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Jan 3. doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00267.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) improved MACE, heart failure and renal outcomes in large trials; however, a thorough understanding of the vascular physiologic changes contributing to these responses is lacking. We hypothesized that SGLT2i therapy would diminish vascular insulin resistance and improve hemodynamic function, which could improve clinical outcomes. To test this, we treated 11 persons with type 2 diabetes for 12 weeks with empagliflozin 10 mg/d and measured vascular stiffness, endothelial...

Empagliflozin ameliorates vascular calcification in diabetic mice through inhibiting Bhlhe40-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation
Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2024 Jan 3. doi: 10.1038/s41401-023-01217-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients exhibit greater susceptibility to vascular calcification (VC), which has a higher risk of death and disability. However, there is no specific drug for VC therapy. NLRP3 inflammasome activation as a hallmark event of medial calcification leads to arterial stiffness, causing vasoconstrictive dysfunction in T2DM. Empagliflozin (EMPA), a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), restrains hyperglycemia with definite cardiovascular benefits. Given the anti-inflammatory activity of EMP...
