<b><i>Background:</i></b> Cardiovascular outcomes in clinical trials with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist can have a beneficial effect on the kidney. This trial aimed to assess the effects of exenatide on renal outcomes in patients with T2DM and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We performed a randomized parallel study encompassing 4 general hospitals. T2DM patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> and macroalbuminuria, defined as 24-h urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) &#x3e;0.3 g/24 h were randomized 1:1 to receive exenatide twice daily plus insulin glargine (intervention group) or insulin lispro plus glargine (control group) for 24 weeks. The primary outcome was the UAER percentage change from the baseline after 24 weeks of intervention. The rates of hypoglycemia, adverse events (AEs), and change in eGFR during the follow-up were measured as safety outcomes. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Between March 2016 and April 2019, 92 patients were randomized and took at least 1 dose of the study drug. The mean age of the participants was 56 years. At baseline, the median UAER was 1,512.0 mg/24 h and mean eGFR was 70.4 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>. After 24 weeks of treatment, the UAER percentage change was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.0255). Moreover, the body weight declined by 1.3 kg in the intervention group (the difference between the 2 groups was 2.7 kg, <i>p</i> = 0.0001). Compared to the control group, a lower frequency of hypoglycemia and more gastrointestinal AEs were observed in the intervention group. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Exenatide plus insulin glargine treatment for 24 weeks resulted in a reduction of albuminuria in T2DM patients with DKD.

Abstract Background: This trial aimed to assess the effects of exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), on renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Methods: We performed a randomized, parallel study conducted in 4 general hospitals. T2DM patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2 and macroalbuminuria, defined as 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) >0.3 g/24-h, were randomized 1:1 to receive exenatide twice daily plus insulin glargine or insulin lispro plus glargine for 24 weeks. The primary outcome was percentage change in UAER after 24 weeks of intervention comparing to baseline measurement. Rates of hypoglycemia, adverse events and change in eGFR during the follow up were set as safety outcomes.Results: Between March 2016 and April 2019, 92 patients were randomized and took at least one dose of study drug. The mean age of the participants was 56 years. At baseline, the median UAER was 1512.0 mg/24-h, and mean eGFR was 70.4 mL/min/1.73 m2. After 24 weeks, exenatide reduced 29.7% of the UAER (p = 0.0255). Meanwhile, the body weight declined by 1.3 kg with exenatide (difference between groups was 2.7 kg, p = 0.0001). Comparing to the control group, lower frequency of hypoglycemia as well as more gastrointestinal adverse events were in intervention group. Conclusions: Exenatide plus insulin glargine for 24 weeks resulted in significant reduction of albuminuria in T2DM patients with DKD.Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02690883.

Background. Two clinical phenotypes of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) have been reported, that is, with or without increased albuminuria. The aim of study was to assess the usefulness of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) for the early diagnosis of DKD in the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods. The study group consisted of 123 patients with T2DM (mean age 62 ± 14 years), with urine albumin/creatinine ratio (uACR) < 300 mg/g and eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. The control group included 22 nondiabetic patients with comparable age, sex, and comorbidities. uNGAL, albumin, and creatinine were measured in the first morning urine samples. uACR and uNGAL/creatinine ratios (uNCR) were calculated. Results. In the control group, maximum uNCR was 39.64 µg/g. In T2DM group, 24 patients (20%) had higher results, with the maximum value of 378.6 µg/g. Among patients with uNCR > 39.64 µg/g, 13 (54%) did not have markedly increased albuminuria. Women with T2DM had higher uNCR than men (p<0.001), without difference in uACR (p=0.09). uNCR in T2DM patients correlated significantly with HbA1c. Sex, total cholesterol, and uACR were independent predictors of uNCR above 39.64 µg/g. Conclusions. Increased uNGAL and uNCR may indicate early tubular damage, associated with dyslipidemia and worse diabetes control, especially in females with T2DM.

Type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide and continues to increase in prevalence. This in turn has significant implications for healthcare provision and the economy. In recent years there have been multiple advances in the glucose-lowering agents available for the treatment of diabetes, which not only modify the disease itself but also have important benefits in terms of the associated cardiovascular outcomes. The cardiovascular outcome trials of agents such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-RAs) and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2) have demonstrated significant benefits in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events, admissions for heart failure and in some cases mortality. Secondary analysis of these trials has also indicated significant renoprotective benefit. Canagliflozin and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Nephropathy (CREDENCE) a renal-specific trial, has shown major benefits with canagliflozin for renal outcomes in diabetic kidney disease, and similar trials with other SGLT-2 inhibitors are either underway or awaiting analysis. In this article we review current goals of treatment of diabetes and the implications of advancing renal impairment on choice of treatments. Areas discussed include the diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease and current treatment strategies for diabetic kidney disease ranging from lifestyle modifications to glycaemic control. This review focuses on the role of GLP-RAs and SGLT-2 inhibitors in treating those with diabetes and chronic kidney disease with some illustrative cases. It is clear that these agents should now be considered first choice in combination with metformin in those with diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk and/or reduced renal function, and in preference to other classes such as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors or sulphonylureas.

Background: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing over the past years. Early identification and management of its complications, especially diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is of great importance. Multiple factors play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM and DKD. We aimed to study Fetuin-A gene polymorphisms and Fetuin-A serum levels in T2DM patients with early DKD. Methods: The present work was conducted on 120 patients with T2DM (60 patients with microalbuminuria and 60 without albuminuria), and 30 healthy subjects (as a control group). Serum Fetuin-A levels were measured with ELISA. Fetuin-A, Thr256Ser and Thr248Met polymorphisms were determined by PCR-RFLP. Results: Patients with T2DM had a significantly higher mean serum Fetuin-A compared to controls (p < 0.001), while no difference was observed when comparing mean serum Fetuin-A in patients with microalbuminuria and patients without albuminuria (p = 0.916). Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and insulin resistance had positive correlations with serum Fetuin-A (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) had a negative correlation with serum Fetuin-A (p=0.046), while Fetuin-A levels neither affected eGFR nor albuminuria. The distribution of the alleles of both polymorphisms showed increased frequency of TT (rs248) and GG (rs256) in patients without albuminuria compared to patients with microalbuminuria. Conclusion: Increased serum Fetuin-A is associated with insulin resistance and increased risk of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM, but is not associated with the development of DKD. TT (rs248) and GG (rs256) polymorphisms may be associated with lower risk of DKD.

Abstract The presence of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is a marker of endothelial dysfunction and also one of the criteria for diagnosing diabetic kidney disease. The present study aimed to identify associations between cardiovascular risk factors and renal albumin excretion in a group of 218 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. HbA1c values, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure were statistically significantly higher in patients with microalbuinuria or macroalbuminuria compared to patients with normoalbuminuria (p <0.01). We identified a statistically significant positive association between uric acid values and albuminuria, respectively 25- (OH)2 vitamin D3 deficiency and microalbuminuria (p <0.01).
