Summary

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are newly developed antihyperglycemic medications. In addition to their glucose lowering properties, they have been shown to have favourable effects on the cardiovascular and renal outcome in patients with diabetes. one of the most interesting renal effects is reduction of proteinuria. The aim of our study was examine the effect of SGLT inhibitors on proteinuria in patients with glomerulonephritis. This study is a randomised controlled trial.

Detailed description

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are newly developed antihyperglycemic medications. In addition to their glucose lowering properties, they have been shown to have favourable effects on the cardiovascular and renal outcome in patients with diabetes.The favourable cardiovascular effects include increased diuresis , reduction of blood pressure and reduction of hospitalisation for heart failure one of the most interesting renal effects is reduction of proteinuria. The aim of our study was examine the effect of SGLT inhibitors on proteinuria in patients with glomerulonephritis. This study is a randomised controlled trial.
