Effects Dapagliflozin on Inflammatory Markers Erythropoiesis and Iron Metabolism in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and CKD

Overview

the effect of Dapagliflozin on erythropoiesis, iron metabolism and inflammatory markers in CKD with Type 2 DM-Compare between effect of placebo and dapagliflozin on erythropoiesis, iron metabolism and inflammation markers in CKD with Type 2 DM.

Type 2 diabetes is considered an important cause of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) ,in those patients the inflammation is the most assumed cause of the decrease in erythropoietin synthesis and abnormal iron metabolism leading to anemia (1\_3). Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors like Dapagliflozin are oral medications approved for type 2 diabetes. interestingly, during recent years, they have been promisingly considered as anew medications for cardiovascular and kidney diseases (4). Researchers suggested that SGLT 2 inhibitors play an important role in reducing CKD progression and renal failure with patients with type 2 DM based on the clinical outcomes and laboratory findings rather than completely understood mechanism (5\_8) Investigators reported that reduced transferrin saturation (TSAT), ferritin and hepcidin and circulating and urinary inflammatory mediators, including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP -1 ) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) transiently increased EPO suggesting SGLT 2 inhibition may help iron utilization and promote erythropoiesis decreasing anemia ( 9-14) Here we are studying the effects of the SGLT 2 inhibitor Dapagliflozin regarding markers of erythropoiesis, iron metabolism and inflammation in patients with Type 2 DM and CKD.
