Chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are with in high-risk patients in coronary arterial diseases and increasing number of coronary angiography and coronary interventional procedures have been performed in these population. As well as the risk factors have been identified by many studies preventive measures are lacking. In our study we found that SGLT2 inhibitors are beneficial in terms of reducing contrast media induced acute kidney injury in both diabetic and CKD patients.This is one of the leading studies in the literature pointing that SGLT2 inhibitors may have a potentially beneficial role in reducing or preventing the development of PC-AKI.
