24 Summary Recent outcome trials with SGLT2 inhibitors confirmed the CV safety and efficacy of these agents (particular protection for Heart Failure and Kidney Failure protection) Hba1c lowering effects attenuated in Diabetic Kidney Disease but other effects persists CREDENCE trial in Diabetic Kidney Disease prematurely stopped for overwhelming efficacy Benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors mediated by: Diuresis / Natriuresis Activation Tubulo-Glomerular Feedback Reducing intra-renal hypoxia? Given that effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are unlikely mediated by glycemic improvements and SGLT-2 inhibitors can be safely used without inducing hypoglycmemica current trials examine the efficacy in non-diabetic kidney diseases Guidelines recommend SGLT-2 inhibitors as second line treatment (adjunct to metformin) in indivduals with diabetes and CKD
