Abstract
Assessment and treatment of hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are challenging. In advanced CKD HbA1c can be unreliable, and treatment adjustments should be supported by other glucose measurements (e.g., continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or blood glucose measurements). Glucose-lowering treatments should be evaluated based on CKD and an individualised assessment of risk factors especially hypoglycaemia. This review aims at providing an overview of the options for glycaemic monitoring and glucose-lowering treatments in people with diabetes and CKD.

Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Intensive Glycemic Control on Kidney Microvascular Outcomes and Mortality in ACCORD. J Am Soc Nephrol 2024; 35:216-228. [PMID: 38073026 PMCID: PMC10843221 DOI: 10.1681/asn.0000000000000272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Identifying and quantifying treatment effect variation across patients is the fundamental challenge of precision medicine. Here we quantify heterogeneous treatment effects of intensive glycemic control in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial, considering three outcomes of interest-a composite kidney outcome (driven by macroalbuminuria), all-cause mortality, and first assisted hypoglycemic event. We demonstrate that the effects of intensive glycemic control vary with risk of kidney failure, as predicted by the kidney failure risk equation (KFRE). Participants at highest risk of kidney failure gain the largest absolute kidney benefit of intensive glycemic control but also experience the largest absolute risk of death and hypoglycemic events. Our findings illustrate the value of identifying clinically meaningful treatment heterogeneity, particularly when treatments have different effects on multiple end points. OBJECTIVE Clear criteria to individualize glycemic targets in patients with type II diabetes are lacking. In this post hoc analysis of the ACCORD, we evaluate whether the KFRE can identify patients for whom intensive glycemic control confers more benefit in preventing kidney microvascular outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We divided the ACCORD trial population into quartiles on the basis of 5-year kidney failure risk using the KFRE. We estimated conditional treatment effects within each quartile and compared them with the average treatment effect in the trial. The treatment effects of interest were the 7-year restricted mean survival time (RMST) differences between intensive and standard glycemic control arms on ( 1 ) time-to-first development of severely elevated albuminuria or kidney failure and ( 2 ) all-cause mortality. RESULTS We found evidence that the effect of intensive glycemic control on kidney microvascular outcomes and all-cause mortality varies with baseline risk of kidney failure. Patients with elevated baseline risk of kidney failure derived the most from intensive glycemic control in reducing kidney microvascular outcomes (7-year RMST difference of 114.8 [95% confidence interval 58.1 to 176.4] versus 48.4 [25.3 to 69.6] days in the entire trial population) However, this same patient group also experienced a shorter time to death (7-year RMST difference of -56.7 [-100.2 to -17.5] v. -23.6 [-42.2 to -6.6] days). CONCLUSIONS We found evidence of heterogenous treatment effects of intensive glycemic control on kidney microvascular outcomes in ACCORD as a function of predicted baseline risk of kidney failure. Patients with higher kidney failure risk experienced the most pronounced reduction in kidney microvascular outcomes but also experienced the highest risk of all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common occurrence in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), occurring in approximately 40% of cases. DM is also an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but CKD is an important mediator of this risk. Multiple CVD outcomes trials have revealed a greater risk for CVD events in patients with diabetes with CKD versus those without. Thus, reducing the risk of CKD in diabetes should result in improved CVD outcomes. To date, of blood pressure (BP) control, glycemic control, and inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RASI), glycemic control appears to have the best evidence for preventing CKD development. In established CKD, especially with albuminuria, RASI slows the progression of CKD. More recently, sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists (GLP1RA) have revolutionized the care of patients with diabetes with and without CKD. SGLT2i and GLP1RA have proven to reduce mortality, heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, and worsening CKD in patients with diabetes with and without existing CKD. The future of limiting CVD in diabetes and CKD is promising, and more evidence is forthcoming regarding combinations of evidence-based therapies to further minimize CVD events.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the one of the leading causes of end-stage kidney disease. Unraveling novel biomarker signatures capable to identify patients with DKD is favorable for tackle the burden. Here, we investigated the possible association between urinary metabolites and the presence of DKD in type 2 diabetes (T2D), and further, whether the associated metabolites improve discrimination of DKD and mediate the effect of inflammation on kidney involvement was evaluated. METHODS Two independent cohorts comprising 192 individuals (92 DKD) were analyzed. Urinary metabolites were analyzed by targeted metabolome profiling and inflammatory cytokine IL-18 were measured by ELISA. Differentially expressed metabolites were selected and mediation analysis was carried out. RESULTS Seven potential metabolite biomarkers (i.e., S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine, propionic acid, oxoadipic acid, leucine, isovaleric acid, isobutyric acid, and indole-3-carboxylic acid) were identified using the discovery and validation design. In the pooled analysis, propionic acid, oxoadipic acid, leucine, isovaleric acid, isobutyric acid, and indole-3-carboxylic acid were markedly and independently associated with DKD. The composite index of 7 potential metabolite biomarkers (CMI) mediated 32.99% of the significant association between the inflammatory IL-18 and DKD. Adding the metabolite biomarkers improved the discrimination of DKD. CONCLUSIONS In T2D, several associated urinary metabolites were identified to improve the prediction of DKD. Whether interventions aimed at reducing CMI also reduce the risk of DKD especially in patients with high IL-18 needs further investigations.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health issue with increasing prevalence. Despite large improvements in current therapies, slowing CKD progression remains a challenge. A better understanding of renal pathophysiology is needed to offer new therapeutic targets. The role of metabolism alterations and mitochondrial dysfunction in tubular cells is increasingly recognized in CKD progression. In proximal tubular cells, CKD progression is associated with a switch from fatty acid oxidation to glycolysis. Glucose synthesis through gluconeogenesis is one of the principal physiological functions of the kidney. Loss of tubular gluconeogenesis in a stage-dependent manner is a key feature of CKD and contributes to systemic and possibly local metabolic complications. The local consequences observed may be related to an accumulation of precursors, such as glycogen, but also to the various physiological functions of the gluconeogenesis enzymes. The basic features of metabolism in proximal tubular cells and their modifications during CKD will be reviewed. The metabolic modifications and their influence on kidney disease will be described, as well as the local and systemic consequences. Finally, therapeutic interventions will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGRUOUND The optimal level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to prevent adverse clinical outcomes is unknown in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We analyzed 707 patients with CKD G1-G5 without kidney replacement therapy and T2DM from the KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD), a nationwide prospective cohort study. The main predictor was time-varying HbA1c level at each visit. The primary outcome was a composite of development of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) or all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included the individual endpoint of MACEs, all-cause mortality, and CKD progression. CKD progression was defined as a ≥50% decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline or the onset of end-stage kidney disease. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.8 years, the primary outcome occurred in 129 (18.2%) patients. In time-varying Cox model, the adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for the primary outcome were 1.59 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 2.49) and 1.99 (95% CI, 1.24 to 3.19) for HbA1c levels of 7.0%-7.9% and ≥8.0%, respectively, compared with <7.0%. Additional analysis of baseline HbA1c levels yielded a similar graded association. In secondary outcome analyses, the aHRs for the corresponding HbA1c categories were 2.17 (95% CI, 1.20 to 3.95) and 2.26 (95% CI, 1.17 to 4.37) for MACE, and 1.36 (95% CI, 0.68 to 2.72) and 2.08 (95% CI, 1.06 to 4.05) for all-cause mortality. However, the risk of CKD progression did not differ between the three groups. CONCLUSION This study showed that higher HbA1c levels were associated with an increased risk of MACE and mortality in patients with CKD and T2DM.

Abstract
Major clinical advances over the last 20 years in the area of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) have been confirmed in large seminal clinical trials. These findings add to the previously identified benefits resulting from intensive glucose and blood pressure control therapies. Furthermore, newer glucose lowering treatments such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists appear very promising and are likely to transform the management and outlook of DKD over the next decade. In addition, novel mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and a recently reported trial with an endothelin receptor blocker also have the potential to change clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective This study analyzed changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated using cystatin C (eGFRcys) and sodium excretion in the urine after administering dapagliflozin as an add-on therapy to conventional treatment for diabetes. Methods This was a single-center, single-group, prospective interventional study. Dapagliflozin was administered to improve the plasma glucose control in 30 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age 53±8 years old; 66.6% men). Blood and urine tests were performed before and 6 and 12 months after dapagliflozin administration. The daily sodium excretion was estimated with the Kawasaki formula using second-morning urine samples. Results The eGFRcys did not markedly differ before and 6 months after the dapagliflozin administration but was significantly increased after 12 months (p<0.001), and the estimated daily sodium excretion was also significantly increased (p<0.001 at 6 months and p=0.002 at 12 months). The systolic and diastolic blood pressures tended to decrease after administration. The HbA1c level after the administration of dapagliflozin tended to be lower in the T3 group, showing the smallest increase in changes in the estimated daily sodium excretion from baseline to 6 months (28.2-107.5 mEq/day), than in the combined groups of T1 (219.5-110.1 mEq/day) and T2 (101.4-28.9 mEq/day). In contrast, the eGFRcys was significantly higher in the combined groups of T1 and T2 than that in the T3 group at both 6 and 12 months (p=0.031 and p=0.007, respectively). Conclusions Add-on therapy with dapagliflozin increased the urinary sodium excretion and decreased the blood pressure even in the early phase of this therapy. Our results suggest that dapagliflozin add-on therapy may exert nephroprotective effects in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, diabetes-care teams, other health care professionals and stakeholders, and individuals with diabetes and their caregivers. METHODS The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology selected a task force of medical experts and staff who updated and assessed clinical questions and recommendations from the prior 2015 version of this guideline and conducted literature searches for relevant scientific papers published from January 1, 2015, through May 15, 2022. Selected studies from results of literature searches composed the evidence base to update 2015 recommendations as well as to develop new recommendations based on review of clinical evidence, current practice, expertise, and consensus, according to established American Association of Clinical Endocrinology protocol for guideline development. RESULTS This guideline includes 170 updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes. Recommendations are divided into four sections: (1) screening, diagnosis, glycemic targets, and glycemic monitoring; (2) comorbidities and complications, including obesity and management with lifestyle, nutrition, and bariatric surgery, hypertension, dyslipidemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; (3) management of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes with antihyperglycemic pharmacotherapy and glycemic targets, type 1 diabetes with insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, hospitalized persons, and women with diabetes in pregnancy; (4) education and new topics regarding diabetes and infertility, nutritional supplements, secondary diabetes, social determinants of health, and virtual care, as well as updated recommendations on cancer risk, nonpharmacologic components of pediatric care plans, depression, education and team approach, occupational risk, role of sleep medicine, and vaccinations in persons with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS This updated clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to assist with person-centered, team-based clinical decision-making to improve the care of persons with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common causes of end-stage renal disease worldwide. The treatment of DKD is strongly associated with clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus. Traditional therapeutic strategies focus on the control of major risk factors, such as blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure. Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors have been the main therapeutic measures in the past, but the emergence of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, incretin mimetics, and endothelin-1 receptor antagonists has provided more options for the management of DKD. Simultaneously, with advances in research on the pathogenesis of DKD, some new therapies targeting renal inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress have gradually entered clinical application. In addition, some recently discovered therapeutic targets and signaling pathways, mainly in preclinical and early clinical trial stages, are expected to provide benefits for patients with DKD in the future. This review summarizes the traditional treatments and emerging management options for DKD, demonstrating recent advances in the therapeutic strategies for DKD.

Abstract
AIM Adequate glycemic control is fundamental for improving clinical outcomes in hemodialysis patients with diabetes. However, the target for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and whether cause-specific mortality differs based on HbA1c levels remain unclear. METHODS A total of 24,243 HD patients with diabetes were enrolled from a multicenter, nationwide registry. We examined the association between HbA1c levels and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. RESULTS Compared to patients with HbA1c 6.5%-7.5%, patients with HbA1c 8.5-9.5% and ≥9.5% were associated with a 1.26-fold (95% CI, 1.12-1.42) and 1.56-fold (95% CI, 1.37-1.77) risk for all-cause mortality. The risk of all-cause mortality did not increase in patients with HbA1c < 5.5%. In cause-specific mortality, the risk of cardiovascular deaths significantly increased from small increase of HbA1c levels. However, the risk of other causes of death increased only in patients with HbA1c > 9.5%. The slope of HR increase with increasing HbA1c levels was significantly faster for cardiovascular causes than for other causes. CONCLUSIONS There was a linear relationship between HbA1c levels and risk of all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients, and the risk of cardiovascular death increased earlier and more rapidly, with increasing HbA1c levels, compared with other causes of death.

Abstract
SGLT2 inhibitors can protect the kidneys of patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus and slow the progression towards end-stage kidney disease. Blocking tubular SGLT2 and spilling glucose into the urine, which triggers a metabolic counter-regulation similar to fasting, provides unique benefits, not only as an anti-hyperglycemic strategy. These include a low hypoglycemia risk and a shift from carbohydrate to lipid utilization and mild ketogenesis, thereby reducing body weight and providing an additional energy source. SGLT2 inhibitors counteract hyperreabsorption in the early proximal tubule, which acutely lowers glomerular pressure and filtration and thereby reduces the physical stress on the filtration barrier, the filtration of tubule-toxic compounds, and the oxygen demand for tubular reabsorption. This improves cortical oxygenation, which, together with lesser tubular gluco-toxicity and improved mitochondrial function and autophagy, can reduce pro-inflammatory, pro-senescence, and pro-fibrotic signaling and preserve tubular function and GFR in the long-term. By shifting transport downstream, SGLT2 inhibitors more equally distribute the transport burden along the nephron and may mimic systemic hypoxia to stimulate erythropoiesis, which improves oxygen delivery to the kidney and other organs. SGLT1 inhibition improves glucose homeostasis by delaying intestinal glucose absorption and by increasing the release of gastrointestinal incretins. Combined SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibition has additive effects on renal glucose excretion and blood glucose control. SGLT1 in the macula densa senses luminal glucose, which affects glomerular hemodynamics and has implications for blood pressure control. More studies are needed to better define the therapeutic potential of SGLT1 inhibition to protect the kidney, alone or in combination with SGLT2 inhibition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes and is a key cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. Major clinical advances have been confirmed in large trials demonstrating renoprotection, adding to the benefits of existing intensive glucose and blood pressure control therapies. Furthermore, there are exciting new treatments predominantly at an experimental and early clinical phase which appear promising. AREAS COVERED The authors review DKD in the context of existing and emerging therapies affording cardiorenal benefits including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists. They explore novel therapies demonstrating potential including a newly developed mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and endothelin receptor blockade, while evaluating the utility of DPP4 inhibitors in current clinical practice. They also consider the recent evidence of emerging therapies targeting metabolic pathways with enzyme inhibitors, anti-fibrotic agents, and agents modulating transcription factors. EXPERT OPINION Significant improvements have been made in the management of DKD with SGLT2i and GLP-1 agonists providing impressive renoprotection, with novel progress in renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade with finerenone. There is also great potential for several new experimental therapies. These advances provide us with optimism that the outlook of this devastating condition will continue to improve.

Abstract
Reliable assessment of glycemia is central to the management of diabetes. The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining glucose homeostasis through glucose filtration, reabsorption, consumption, and generation. This review article highlights the role of the kidneys in glucose metabolism and discusses the benefits, pitfalls, and evidence behind the glycemic markers in patients with chronic kidney disease. We specifically highlight the role of continuous glucose monitoring as an emerging minimally invasive technique for glycemic assessment.

Abstract
This Italian real-world data analysis evaluated the pharmaco-utilization of calcimimetics, cinacalcet or etelcalcetide, and the economic burden of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. From 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2020, adult patients with: (i) ≥1 prescription of etelcalcetide or cinacalcet, (ii) ≥3 hemodialysis/week, and (iii) without parathyroidectomy, were included. Based on the drug firstly prescribed, patients were allocated into etelcalcetide- and cinacalcet-treated cohorts, and the propensity score matching (PSM) methodology was applied to abate potential cohorts’ unbalances. Overall, 1752 cinacalcet- and 527 etelcalcetide-treated patients were enrolled. In cinacalcet- and etelcalcetide-treated patients, respectively, the most frequent comorbidities were hypertension (75.3% and 74.4%), diabetes mellitus (21.0% and 21.3%), and cardiovascular disease (18.1% and 13.3%, p < 0.01). In covariate-balanced cohorts, the treatment adherence and persistence rates were significantly higher in the etelcalcetide-treated (80.1% and 62.7%, respectively) vs. cinacalcet-treated cohort (62.3% and 54.7%, respectively). After PSM, the total costs for the management of cinacalcet- and etelcalcetide-treated patients, respectively, averaged EUR 23,480 and EUR 22,958, with the disease-specific drug costs (EUR 2629 vs. EUR 2355, p < 0.05) and disease-specific hospitalization costs (EUR 1241 vs. EUR 855) in cinacalcet- and etelcalcetide-treated patients. These results showed that, in etelcalcetide-treated patients, a higher treatment adherence and persistence was found, with disease-specific costs savings, especially those related to drugs and hospitalizations.

KDOQI US Commentary on the KDIGO 2020 Clinical Practice Guideline for Diabetes Management in CKD. Am J Kidney Dis 2022; 79:457-479.

Abstract
In October 2020, KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) published its first clinical practice guideline directed specifically to the care of patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This commentary presents the views of the KDOQI (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative) work group for diabetes in CKD, convened by the National Kidney Foundation to provide an independent expert perspective on the new guideline. The KDOQI work group believes that the KDIGO guideline takes a major step forward in clarifying glycemic targets and use of specific antihyperglycemic agents in diabetes and CKD. The purpose of this commentary is to carry forward the conversation regarding optimization of care for patients with diabetes and CKD. Recent developments for prevention of CKD progression and cardiovascular events in people with diabetes and CKD, particularly related to sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, have filled a longstanding gap in nephrology's approach to the care of persons with diabetes and CKD. The multifaceted benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors have facilitated interactions between nephrology, cardiology, endocrinology, and primary care, underscoring the need for innovative approaches to multidisciplinary care in these patients. We now have more interventions to slow kidney disease progression and prevent or delay kidney failure in patients with diabetes and kidney disease, but methods to streamline their implementation and overcome barriers in access to care, particularly cost, are essential to ensuring all patients may benefit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION CKD is associated with alterations of tubular function. Renal gluconeogenesis is responsible for 40% of systemic gluconeogenesis during fasting, but how and why CKD affects this process and the repercussions of such regulation are unknown. METHODS We used data on the renal gluconeogenic pathway from more than 200 renal biopsies performed on CKD patients and from 43 kidney allograft patients, and studied three mouse models, of proteinuric CKD (POD-ATTAC), of ischemic CKD, and of unilateral urinary tract obstruction. We analyzed a cohort of patients who benefitted from renal catheterization and a retrospective cohort of patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit. RESULTS Renal biopsies of CKD and kidney allograft patients revealed a stage-dependent decrease in the renal gluconeogenic pathway. Two animal models of CKD and one model of kidney fibrosis confirm gluconeogenic downregulation in injured proximal tubule cells. This shift resulted in an alteration of renal glucose production and lactate clearance during an exogenous lactate load. The isolated perfused kidney technique in animal models and renal venous catheterization in CKD patients confirmed decreased renal glucose production and lactate clearance. In CKD patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit, systemic alterations of glucose and lactate levels were more prevalent and associated with increased mortality and a worse renal prognosis at follow-up. Decreased expression of the gluconeogenesis pathway and its regulators predicted faster histologic progression of kidney disease in kidney allograft biopsies. CONCLUSION Renal gluconeogenic function is impaired in CKD. Altered renal gluconeogenesis leads to systemic metabolic changes with a decrease in glucose and increase in lactate level, and is associated with a worse renal prognosis.

Abstract
Studies report beneficial effects of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) on the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, but the effects of 3-OHB on diabetic nephropathy have not been elucidated. This study was designed to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of 3-OHB against progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Mice (db/db) were fed normal chow, high-fat, or ketogenic diets (KD) containing precursors of 3-OHB. Hyperglycemia was determined based on random glucose level (≥250 mg/dL). Fasting blood glucose and body weights were measured once a week. Twenty four-hour urine albumin to creatinine ratio was determined 5 weeks after the differential diet. Energy expenditure was measured 9 weeks after the differential diet. Body weights were significantly lower in the KD group than those in other groups, but no significant differences in fasting blood glucose levels among three groups were observed. Urine albumin to creatinine ratio and serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine ratio in the KD group were significantly lower than in other groups. Histologic and quantitative analysis of mesangial area suggested that KD delayed the progression of DN phenotype in db/db mice. Metabolic cage analysis also revealed that KD increased energy expenditure in db/db mice. In vitro studies with proximal tubular cells revealed that 3-OHB stimulated autophagic flux. 3-OHB increased LC3 I to LC3 II ratio, phosphorylation of AMPK, beclin, p62 degradation, and NRF2 expression. Moreover, we found that 3-OHB attenuated high glucose-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in proximal tubular cells. In vivo study also confirmed increased LC3 and decreased ROS levels in the kidney of KD mice. In summary, this study shows in both in vivo and in vitro models that 3-OHB delays the progression of DN by augmenting autophagy and inhibiting oxidative stress.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that confers faster kidney disease progression, higher mortality, and various metabolic derangements including hypoglycemia. RECENT FINDINGS Even in the absence of diabetes mellitus, growing research demonstrates that CKD patients are at heightened risk for hypoglycemia via multiple pathways. In CKD patients transitioning to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), spontaneous resolution of hyperglycemia and frequent hypoglycemia resulting in reduction and/or cessation of glucose-lowering medications are frequently observed in a phenomenon described as 'burnt-out diabetes'. In non-CKD patients, it is well established that hypoglycemia is causally associated with mortality, with pathways including arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, stroke, and seizures. Increasing evidence shows that, in CKD and ESRD patients with and without diabetes mellitus, hypoglycemia is associated with cardiovascular complications and mortality risk. SUMMARY Given the high prevalence of hypoglycemia in CKD patients and the morbidity and mortality associated with this metabolic complication, a multimodal strategy is needed to prevent dysglycemia, including individualization of glycemic targets, selection of glucose-lowering medications less likely to induce hypoglycemia, medical nutrition therapy administered by trained dietitians, and accurate and precise hypoglycemia detection methods, such as self-monitored blood glucose or continuous glucose monitoring including during dialysis treatment.

Abstract
The proximal tubule of the kidney is programmed to reabsorb all filtered glucose and fructose. Glucose is taken up by apical sodium-glucose cotransporters SGLT2 and SGLT1 whereas SGLT5 and potentially SGLT4 and GLUT5 have been implicated in apical fructose uptake. The glucose taken up by the proximal tubule is typically not metabolized but leaves via the basolateral facilitative glucose transporter GLUT2 and is returned to the systemic circulation or used as an energy source by distal tubular segments after basolateral uptake via GLUT1. The proximal tubule generates new glucose in metabolic acidosis and the postabsorptive phase, and fructose serves as an important substrate. In fact, under physiological conditions and intake, fructose taken up by proximal tubules is primarily utilized for gluconeogenesis. In the diabetic kidney, glucose is retained and gluconeogenesis enhanced, the latter in part driven by fructose. This is maladaptive as it sustains hyperglycemia. Moreover, renal glucose retention is coupled to sodium retention through SGLT2 and SGLT1, which induces secondary deleterious effects. SGLT2 inhibitors are new anti-hyperglycemic drugs that can protect the kidneys and heart from failing independent of kidney function and diabetes. Dietary excess of fructose also induces tubular injury. This can be magnified by kidney formation of fructose under pathological conditions. Fructose metabolism is linked to urate formation, which partially accounts for fructose-induced tubular injury, inflammation, and hemodynamic alterations. Fructose metabolism favors glycolysis over mitochondrial respiration as urate suppresses aconitase in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and has been linked to potentially detrimental aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect). © 2022 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Acute and chronic kidney disease are responsible for large healthcare costs worldwide. During injury, kidney metabolism undergoes profound modifications in order to adapt to oxygen and nutrient shortage. Several studies highlighted recently the importance of these metabolic adaptations in acute as well as in chronic phases of renal disease, with a potential deleterious effect on fibrosis progression. Until recently, glucose metabolism in the kidney has been poorly studied, even though the kidney has the capacity to use and produce glucose, depending on the segment of the nephron. During physiology, renal proximal tubular cells use the beta-oxidation of fatty acid to generate large amounts of energy, and can also produce glucose through gluconeogenesis. In acute kidney injury, proximal tubular cells metabolism undergo a metabolic shift, shifting away from beta-oxidation of fatty acids and gluconeogenesis toward glycolysis. In chronic kidney disease, the loss of fatty acid oxidation is also well-described, and data about glucose metabolism are emerging. We here review the modifications of proximal tubular cells glucose metabolism during acute and chronic kidney disease and their potential consequences, as well as the potential therapeutic implications.

Abstract
AIM We compared the 2-year clinical outcomes between prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) after the successful implantation of new-generation drug-eluting stents. METHODS A total of 11,961 AMI patients were classified into group A (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 ml/min/1.73m2, n = 2271) and group B (eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2, n = 9690). These two groups were sub-classified into normoglycemia, prediabetes, and T2DM. The occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause death, recurrent MI (re-MI), and any repeat revascularization was evaluated. RESULTS In group A, the MACE (p = 0.016 and p = 0.004, respectively) and all-cause death (p = 0.044, and p = 0.031, respectively) rates; in groups B, the MACE, all-cause death, and cardiac death rates, were significantly higher in the prediabetes and T2DM groups than in the normoglycemia group. The re-MI and any repeat revascularization rates were significantly higher in the T2DM group than in the normoglycemia group. The MACE, all-cause death, and cardiac death rates in group A were significantly higher than those in all three glycemic subgroups of group B. Both in group A and B, the major clinical outcomes were not significantly different between the prediabetes and T2DM groups. CONCLUSIONS AMI patients, both with prediabetes and T2DM, showed a higher mortality rate than those with normoglycemia regardless of the degree of eGFR.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the USA. The pathogenesis of DKD is multifactorial and involves activation of multiple signaling pathways with merging outcomes including thickening of the basement membrane, podocyte loss, mesangial expansion, tubular atrophy, and interstitial inflammation and fibrosis. The glomerulo-tubular balance and tubule-glomerular feedback support an increased glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption, with the latter relying heavily on ATP and increasing the energy demand. There is evidence that alterations in mitochondrial bioenergetics in kidney cells lead to these pathologic changes and contribute to the progression of DKD towards ESRD. This review will focus on the dialogue between alterations in bioenergetics in glomerular and tubular cells and its role in the development of DKD. Alterations in energy substrate selection, electron transport chain, ATP generation, oxidative stress, redox status, protein posttranslational modifications, mitochondrial dynamics, and quality control will be discussed. Understanding the role of bioenergetics in the progression of diabetic DKD may provide novel therapeutic approaches to delay its progression to ESRD.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the commonest cause of end-stage kidney failure worldwide and is a proven and significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Renal impairment has a significant impact on the physiology of glucose homeostasis as it reduces tissue sensitivity to insulin and reduces insulin clearance. Renal replacement therapy itself affects glucose control: peritoneal dialysis may induce hyperglycaemia due to glucose-rich dialysate and haemodialysis often causes hypoglycaemia due to the relatively low concentration of glucose in the dialysate. Autonomic neuropathy which is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes increases the risk for asymptomatic hypoglycaemia. Pharmacological options for improving glycaemic control are limited due to alterations to drug metabolism. Impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes are also common in the post-kidney-transplant setting and increase the risk of graft failure and mortality. This review seeks to summarise the literature and tackle the intricacies of glycaemic management in patients with CKD who are either on maintenance haemodialysis or have received a kidney transplant. It outlines changes to glycaemic targets, monitoring of glycaemic control, the use of oral hypoglycaemic agents, the management of severe hyperglycaemia in dialysis and kidney transplantation patients.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus and a primary cause of end-stage renal failure. Clinical studies indicate that metabolic surgery improves DN; however, the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we report that Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery significantly blocked and reversed DN without affecting the insulin signaling pathway. This protective role of RYGB surgery is almost blocked by either inhibition or knockout of 5'AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in podocytes. Furthermore, mRNA microarray data reveal that RYGB surgery obviously reduced the gene expression involved in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAPDH) synthesis. The expression of a key NADPH synthase, hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD), was inhibited by the low plasma corticosterone level after surgery. In addition, blocking NAPDH synthesis by knocking down H6PD mimicked the beneficial role of RYGB surgery through activation of AMPK in podocytes. Therefore, this study demonstrates that reducing NADPH production is critical for renal AMPK activation in response to RYGB surgery.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The appropriate target of glycemic control in diabetic kidney disease is unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate optimal on-treatment glycemic levels associated with slowing of diabetic kidney disease progression. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This retrospective cohort study was conducted using nationwide Korean cohorts from the National Health Information Database from 2005 to 2019. Included individuals were adults with diabetes using antihyperglycemic agents with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD) identified from participants aged 40 to 74 years in a nationwide health screening survey conducted from 2009 to 2010. Data were analyzed from October 2020 through March 2021. EXPOSURE On-treatment fasting blood glucose (FBG) level. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was a composite of doubling of serum creatinine, end-stage kidney disease, or death from CKD. RESULTS Among 183 049 adults with diabetes using antihyperglycemic agents (mean [SD] age, 61.7 [8.4] years; 99 110 [54.1%] men), there were 131 401 individuals with dipstick albuminuria or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 15 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m2 (mean [SD] age, 62.4 [8.3] years; 71 280 [54.2%] men) and 51 648 individuals with no CKD (mean [SD] age, 59.6 [8.4] years; 27 830 [53.9%] men). During 9 years of follow-up, the primary outcome occurred among 13 802 individuals with CKD (10.5%) and 1421 individuals with no CKD (2.8%). On-treatment FBG level had a J-shaped hazard ratio (HR) curve for the primary outcome. Among patients with albuminuria, FBG levels of 126 mg/dL to less than 140 mg/dL (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.81-0.94) and 140 mg/dL to less than 160 mg/dL (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.84-0.96) were associated with decreased risk and levels of 160 mg/dL to less than 180 mg/dL were associated with increased risk (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03-1.18) compared with FBG levels of 110 mg/dL to less than 126 mg/dL. Among patients with decreased eGFR, FBG levels of 80 mg/dL to less than 100 mg/dL (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.20-1.42) and levels of 160 mg/dL to less than 180 mg/dL (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.04-1.23) were associated with increased risk of the primary outcome compared with FBG levels of 110 mg/dL to less than 126 mg/dL. Among patients with no CKD, FBG levels of 80 mg/dL to less than 100 mg/dL (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.01-1.65) and levels of 126 mg/dL to less than 140 mg/dL (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.03-1.47) were associated with increased risk compared with FBG levels of 110 mg/dL to less than 126 mg/dL. Among patients with no albuminuria at baseline, FBG levels of 140 mg/dL to less than 160 mg/dL (HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.09-1.20) were associated with increased risk of new-onset albuminuria, while levels of 100 mg/dL to less than 110 mg/dL were not associated with increased risk compared with FBG levels of 110 mg/dL to less than 126 mg/dL. For all-cause mortality, while FBG levels of 160 mg/dL to less than 180 mg/dL (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.12-1.28) were associated with increased risk among patients with albuminuria, FBG levels of 140 mg/dL to less than 160 mg/dL were associated with increased risk among patients with decreased eGFR (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.04-1.16) and those with no CKD (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.00-1.21) compared with levels of 110 mg/dL to less than 126 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that intensive vs standard glucose control may not be associated with increased protection for the progression of established diabetic kidney disease and that timely control is important for prevention. However, careful glycemic control would still be associated with improved overall outcomes among patients with CKD, particularly those with no albuminuria.

Abstract
The burden of type 2 diabetes and related complications has steadily increased over the last few decades and is one of the foremost global public health threats in the 21st century. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure and is an important contributor to the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population. In addition, up to one in three patients who have received kidney transplants develop post-transplant diabetes, but the management of this common complication continues to pose a significant challenge for clinicians. In this review, we will describe the global prevalence and temporal trend of kidney failure attributed to diabetes mellitus in both developing and developed countries. We will examine the survival differences between treated kidney failure patients with and without type 2 diabetes, focusing on the survival differences in those on maintenance dialysis or have received kidney transplants. With the increased availability of novel hypoglycemic agents, we will address the potential impacts of these novel agents in patients with diabetes and kidney failure and in those who have developed post-transplant diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether the presence of microvascular complications modifies the effect of intensive glucose reduction on long-term outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using ACCORD and ACCORDION study data, we investigated the risk of the primary outcome (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death) or death in relation to the prerandomization type and extent of microvascular complications. Interaction terms were fitted in survival models to estimate the risk of both outcomes across levels of an overall microvascular disease score (range 0 to 100) and its individual components: diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 7.7 years, 1685 primary outcomes and 1806 deaths occurred in 9405 participants. The outcome-specific microvascular score was ≤30 in 97.9% of subjects for the primary outcome and in 98.5% for death. For participants with scores of 0 and 30, respectively, the 10-year absolute risk difference between intensive glucose control and standard treatment ranged from -0.8% (95% CI, -2.6, 1.1) to -3.0% -7.1, 1.1) for the primary outcome and from -0.5% (-2.1, 1.1) to 0.7% (-4.2, 5.6) for mortality. Retinopathy was associated with the largest effects, with a 10-year absolute risk difference of -6.5% (-11.1 to -2.0) for the primary outcome and -3.9% (-7.8 to 0.1) for mortality. CONCLUSION This hypothesis-generating study identifies diabetic retinopathy as predictor of the beneficial effect of intensive glucose control on the risk of cardiovascular disease and possibly death. Further long-term studies are required to confirm these findings.

The comparative effects of intensive glucose lowering in diabetes patients aged below or above 65 years: Results from the ADVANCE trial. Diabetes Obes Metab 2021; 23:1292-1300. [PMID: 33539672 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS For relatively old patients with diabetes, current guidelines recommend adjustment of glycaemic goals based on patients' cognitive function, or coexisting chronic illnesses. However, the evidence which supports the efficacy and safety of intensive glucose lowering in older patients with diabetes is scarce. The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy and safety of intensive glucose lowering in patients with type 2 diabetes stratified by age (<65 and ≥ 65 years), and examine whether the effects differ according to patients' characteristics in the older patient group. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of intensive glucose lowering (to a target glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] concentration of ≤48 mmol/mol [6.5%]) on major clinical outcomes were evaluated by Cox regression models according to subgroups defined by baseline age of <65 or ≥ 65 years in the ADVANCE trial (n = 11 140). RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 5 years, intensive glucose lowering significantly decreased the risk of the composite of major macrovascular and microvascular events (hazard ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0.82-0.98), with no heterogeneity in the effects across age subgroups (p for heterogeneity = 0.44). Relative effects on all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and components of major vascular events were also similar (P for heterogeneity ≥0.06), except for severe hypoglycaemia, which was of greater risk for patients aged <65 years. Absolute benefits and harms were broadly consistent across subgroups. Among patients aged ≥65 years, randomized treatment effects did not differ significantly across different levels of cognitive function or coexisting chronic illnesses. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that an intensive glycaemic control strategy to reduce HbA1c to 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) provided broadly similar benefits and harms and may be recommended for older, as well as younger, patients.

Abstract
The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is growing globally, particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) where access to treatment is poor and the largest increases in disease burden will occur. The individual and societal costs of kidney disease are well recognized, especially in developed health care systems where treatments for the advanced stages of CKD are more readily available. The consequences of CKD are potentially more catastrophic in developing health care systems where such resources are often lacking. Central to addressing this challenge is the availability of data to understand disease burden and ensure that investments in treatments and health resources are effective at a local level. Use of routinely collected administrative data is helpful in this regard, however, the barriers to developing a more systematic focus on data collection should not be underestimated. This article reviews the current tools that have been used to measure the burden of CKD and considers limitations regarding their use in LLMICs. A review of the literature investigating the use of registries, disease specific databases and administrative data to identify populations with CKD in LLMICs, which indicate these to be underused resources, is included. Suggestions regarding the potential use of administrative data for measuring CKD burden in LLMICs are explored.

Abstract
AIMS Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus increase atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) risk. However, the association between renal outcome of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and ASCVD risk is unclear. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 218 type 2 diabetic patients with biopsy-proven DKD, and without known cardiovascular diseases. Baseline characteristics were obtained and the 10-year ASCVD risk score was calculated using the Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE). Renal outcome was defined as progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The association between ASCVD risk and renal function and outcome was analyzed with logistic regression and Cox analysis. RESULTS Among all patients, the median 10-year ASCVD risk score was 14.1%. The median of ASCVD risk score in CKD stage 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 10.9%, 12.3%, 16.5%, and 14.8%, respectively (p = 0.268). Compared with patients with lower ASCVD risk (<14.1%), those with higher ASCVD risk had lower eGFR, higher systolic blood pressure, and more severe renal interstitial inflammation. High ASCVD risk (>14.1%) was an independent indicator of renal dysfunction in multivariable-adjusted logistic analysis (OR, 3.997; 95%CI, 1.385-11.530; p = 0.010), though failed to be an independent risk factor for ESRD in patients with DKD in univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. CONCLUSIONS DKD patients even in CKD stage 1 had comparable ASCVD risk score to patients in CKD stage 2, 3, and 4. Higher ASCVD risk indicated severe renal insufficiency, while no prognostic value of ASVCD risk for renal outcome was observed, which implied macroangiopathy and microangiopathy in patients with DKD were related, but relatively independent.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is among the most prevalent and dire complications of diabetes mellitus in adults across the world. Diabetes substantially contributes to the burden of kidney disease, such that one third to one half of CKD in the United States and many other countries is attributable to diabetic kidney disease (DKD). As DKD progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), patients are at heightened risk for atypical glycemic complications, including the development of burnt-out diabetes, manifested by hypoglycemic bouts and poor outcomes. Furthermore, even in the absence of diabetes, hypoglycemia is a frequent occurrence in CKD patients that may contribute to their high burden of cardiovascular disease and death. Extrapolation of data from clinical trials in high-cardiovascular-risk populations and observational studies in patients with non-dialysis-dependent (NDD) CKD and ESRD suggest that moderate glycemic targets defined by glycated hemoglobin levels of 6% to 8% and glucose levels of 100 to 150 mg/dL are associated with better survival in DKD patients. However, given the imprecision of glycated hemoglobin levels in kidney disease, further research is needed to determine the optimal glycemic metric and target in diabetic NDD-CKD and ESRD patients. Given their exceedingly high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, there is a compelling need for further investigation of how to optimally manage dysglycemia in the NDD-CKD and ESRD populations.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high mortality rates, mainly as a result of cardiovascular complications. Meanwhile, recent studies have suggested a role of a homodimer protein called activin A in chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) conditions that may exist in the vascular calcification and osteolytic process. Ultrasound examination of the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a noninvasive method to assess vascular calcification. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the activin A serum level and cIMT in patients with CKD at Mohammad Hoesin Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia. Methods We conducted a hospital-based, cross-sectional study of consecutive CKD patients at the Department of Internal Medicine, Mohammad Hoesin Hospital, from July to November 2019. The level of activin A was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Meanwhile, cIMT measurements were collected by B-mode ultrasound imaging. Results A total of 55 patients with CKD were included in this investigation. The median serum activin A level in these patients was 236.17 (116.33–283) pg/mL, while the median cIMT was 0.8 (0.6–1.45) mm. A relationship between the serum activin A level and cIMT (r = 0.449; p = 0.001) was observed. During multivariate analysis with linear regression, triglyceride (p = 0.049), phosphate (p = 0.005), and activin A (p = 0.020) serum levels were factors associated with cIMT. Conclusion In this study, a relationship between the activin A serum level and cIMT in patients with CKD was identified. Vascular calcification should be screened for in all CKD patients by the measurement of cIMT.

Abstract
The current paradigm of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is gluco-centric, being exclusively categorized by glycemic characteristics. The gluco-centric paradigm views hyperglycemia as the primary target, being driven by resistance to insulin combined with progressive beta cells failure, and considers glycemic control its ultimate treatment goal. Most importantly, the gluco-centric paradigm considers the non-glycemic diseases associated with T2D, e.g., obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, macrovascular disease, microvascular disease and fatty liver as 'risk factors' and/or 'outcomes' and/or 'comorbidities', rather than primary inherent disease aspects of T2D. That is in spite of their high prevalence (60-90%) and major role in profiling T2D morbidity and mortality. Moreover, the gluco-centric paradigm fails to realize that the non-glycemic diseases of T2D are driven by insulin and, except for glycemic control, response to insulin in T2D is essentially the rule rather than the exception. Failure of the gluco-centric paradigm to offer an exhaustive unifying view of the glycemic and non-glycemic diseases of T2D may have contributed to T2D being still an unmet need. An mTORC1-centric paradigm maintains that hyperactive mTORC1 drives the glycemic and non-glycemic disease aspects of T2D. Hyperactive mTORC1 is proposed to act as double-edged agent, namely, to interfere with glycemic control by disrupting the insulin receptor-Akt transduction pathway, while concomitantly driving the non-glycemic diseases of T2D. The mTORC1-centric paradigm may offer a novel perspective for T2D in terms of pathogenesis, clinical focus and treatment strategy.

Abstract
Hypoglycemia is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), more so if they have diabetes as well. The occurrence of hypoglycemia in CKD is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, both of which are treatable and preventable. This review summarizes the incidence and risk factors associated with hypoglycemia among patients with CKD. The meta-analysis was performed as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. A search was done on PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature for cohort studies in English published between January 2000 and August 2019 using search terms related to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), chronic kidney disease (chronic renal failure OR renal failure), and incidence (risk OR epidemiology OR risk factors). Summary measures were calculated using random-effects model. A total of 5 studies involving 311,817 persons were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of hypoglycemia in patients with CKD was 0.188 (confidence interval [CI] = 0.097-0.287). The incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly higher in patients with CKD than in patients without CKD (Relative risk [RR] = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.86-1.92, P < 0.0001). No heterogeneity was reported between the studies (I2 = 0%, P > 0.05), and publication bias was also found. Females, patients who had diabetes mellitus of long duration, and those on antidiabetic drugs such as insulin and sulfonylureas were at risk of developing hypoglycemia in CKD as per narrative review. The incidence of hypoglycemia in patients with CKD is high. Therefore, there is need to closely monitor affected individuals so that appropriate management protocols could be set up. Further probing of various risk factors for hypoglycemia in CKD patients is necessary for early detection and initiation of timely preventive and curative measures.

Abstract
AIMS Chronic kidney disease (CKD) challenges diabetes management and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We examined whether clinical outcomes with insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) and insulin degludec 100 U/mL (IDeg-100) are affected by renal function in a prespecified subgroup analysis from the BRIGHT trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS BRIGHT (NCT02738151) was a multicentre, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, two-arm, parallel-group, 24-week study in insulin-naïve uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants were randomized 1:1 to evening Gla-300 (n = 466) or IDeg-100 (n = 463) and stratified based on baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for this analysis. RESULTS Heterogeneity of treatment effect across renal function subgroups was observed (P = .02), reflecting a greater mean glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction from baseline to week 24 with Gla-300 versus IDeg-100 in the eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 subgroup (least squares mean difference: -0.43% [95% confidence interval: -0.74% to -0.12%]), while there were no differences in hypoglycaemia incidence or rates over 24 weeks in that subgroup. HbA1c reductions were similar between treatments in the other eGFR subgroups. However, heterogeneity was observed for annualized rates of anytime (24 hours) or nocturnal (00:00-05:59 hours) confirmed hypoglycaemia (≤70 mg/dL [≤3.9 mmol/L]) over 24 weeks showing less hypoglycaemia with Gla-300 versus IDeg-100 in the ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 . CONCLUSIONS Kidney function seems to affect the glucose-lowering effects of Gla-300 versus IDeg-100 in insulin-naïve T2D. Greater HbA1c reductions with Gla-300 without increase in hypoglycaemia risk, were observed in patients with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 .

Abstract
AIM To evaluate possible associations between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hypoglycaemia in adults with diabetes. METHODS We conducted an observational study in adults with diabetes from the Stockholm Creatinine Measurement (SCREAM) project, a Swedish healthcare utilization cohort during 2007 to 2011. We evaluated diagnoses and outpatient glucose tests for incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of hypoglycaemia (overall and by severity) in outpatient care by eGFR strata using zero-inflated negative binomial regression. We identified clinical predictors through ordinal logistic regression and assessed 7-day and 30-day mortality from hypoglycaemia in relation to eGFR with Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS We identified 29 434 people with diabetes (13% with type 1 diabetes). Their mean age was 66 years, 43% were women and the median eGFR was 80 mL/min/1.73 m2 . During 2 years of follow-up, 1812 patients (6.2%) had hypoglycaemia registered at least once. The risk of hypoglycaemia increased linearly with lower eGFR, with an IRR of 1.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0-1.4) for eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 5.8 (95% CI 3.8-9.0) for eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 compared to eGFR 90 to 104 mL/min/1.73 m2 . This trend was observed for both mild and severe hypoglycaemia. Both 7-day and 30-day post-hypoglycaemia mortality increased with lower eGFR, peaking in those with eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 (hazard ratio 21.2, 95% CI 5.1-87.9) as compared to those with eGFR 90 to 104 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Lower eGFR categories, type 1 diabetes, previous hypoglycaemia, liver disease, presence of diabetic complications and use of insulin and sulphonylureas increased the odds of hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSION In this large, observational study, low eGFR was strongly associated with the occurrence, severity and fatality of hypoglycaemia in people with diabetes.

Abstract
Exercise perturbs homeostasis, alters the levels of circulating mediators and hormones, and increases the demand by skeletal muscles and other vital organs for energy substrates. Exercise also affects bone and mineral metabolism, particularly calcium and phosphate, both of which are essential for muscle contraction, neuromuscular signaling, biosynthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and other energy substrates. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Understanding the effects of exercise on PTH secretion is fundamental for appreciating how the body adapts to exercise. Altered PTH metabolism underlies hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism, the complications of which affect the organs involved in calcium and phosphorous metabolism (bone and kidney) and other body systems as well. Exercise affects PTH expression and secretion by altering the circulating levels of calcium and phosphate. In turn, PTH responds directly to exercise and exercise-induced myokines.

Abstract
Along with the obesity epidemic there has been a major increase in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) prevalence, paralleling a steady increase in cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular cancer (HCC) related to NAFLD. Currently, NAFLD (related HCC and cirrhosis) is the second most common cause for liver transplantation (LT) and it is projected to take the top spot in the next 3-5 years. Patients with NAFLD cirrhosis and HCC have a unique set of comorbidities which potentially increases their risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. However, a review of the published data in NAFLD patients who undergo LT, does not paint a clear picture. While CVD is the most common cause of non-graft related mortality over the long-term, the short and intermediate-term survival post LT in NAFLD cirrhosis appears to be on par with other etiologies when age and comorbidities are factored. The cardiovascular complications are increased in the immediate post-transplant period but there is a shift from ischemic complications to arrhythmias and heart failure (HF). NAFLD recurs in 80-100% patients and occurs de novo in about 50% after LT, potentially impacting their long-term morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes the available data on CVD in NAFLD patients before and after LT, explains what is currently known about the epidemiology and pathogenesis of CVD in NAFLD and posits strategies to improve wait-list and post-transplant survival.

Abstract
The global incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes have been escalating in recent decades. The total diabetic population is expected to increase from 415 million in 2015 to 642 million by 2040. Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). About two-thirds of patients with type 2 diabetes died of ASCVD. The association between hyperglycemia and elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk has been demonstrated in multiple cohort studies. However, clinical trials of intensive glucose reduction by conventional antidiabetic agents did not significantly reduce macrovascular outcomes.In December 2008, U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a mandate that every new antidiabetic agent requires rigorous assessments of its CV safety. Thereafter, more than 200,000 patients have been enrolled in a number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). These trials were initially designed to prove noninferiority. It turned out that some of these trials demonstrated superiority of some new antidiabetic agents versus placebo in reducing CV endpoints, including macrovascular events, renal events, and heart failure. These results are important in clinical practice and also provide an opportunity for academic society to formulate treatment guidelines or consensus to provide specific recommendations for glucose control in various CV diseases.In 2018, the Taiwan Society of Cardiology (TSOC) and the Diabetes Association of Republic of China (DAROC) published the first joint consensus on the "Pharmacological Management of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases." In 2020, TSOC appointed a new consensus group to revise the previous version. The updated 2020 consensus was comprised of 5 major parts: (1) treatment of diabetes in patients with multiple risk factors, (2) treatment of diabetes in patients with coronary heart disease, (3) treatment of diabetes in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease, (4) treatment of diabetes in patients with a history of stroke, and (5) treatment of diabetes in patients with heart failure. The members of the consensus group thoroughly reviewed all the evidence, mainly RCTs, and also included meta-analyses and real-world evidence. The treatment targets of HbA1c were finalized. The antidiabetic agents were ranked according to their clinical evidence. The consensus is not mandatory. The final decision may need to be individualized and based on clinicians' discretion.

Abstract
Despite good control of all risk factors for myocardial infarction, including blood glucose, blood pressure, lipids, and smoking, the probability of heart failure is significantly higher in diabetic patients than in healthy individuals. This observational study shows that the current treatment guidelines, which focus on the prevention of myocardial infarction, are insufficient in preventing heart failure development. Now, understanding the mechanisms of heart failure in diabetic patients and developing treatment guidelines based on these mechanisms are urgently needed. Instead of narrowly viewing that heart failure is caused by poor cardiac function, we need to take a bird's-eye view that heart failure is caused by a shift in the hemodynamic set point (blood pressure, heart rate, circulating blood volume, and autonomic balance) toward overloading the heart due to the persistent drive of the pathological kidney-brain-heart coupling. Clinical evidence, which shows that sodium-glucose-coupled transporter [Na+/glucose co-transporter (SGLT)-2] inhibitors slowed the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reduced heart failure hospitalizations and deaths, underscores the importance of the renocardiac syndrome in heart failure development in diabetic patients.

J Korean Med Sci 2020; 35:e190. [PMID: 32567258 PMCID: PMC7308139 DOI: 10.3346/jkms.2020.35.e190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze the all-cause mortality rate over time after elderly hip fracture in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with dialysis, using a Korean nationwide claims database. METHODS This retrospective nationwide study identified subjects from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Senior cohort (NHIS-Senior). The NHIS-Senior (total of 588,147 participants) was constructed by 10% random sampling and was designed to represent the elderly living in Korea. Subjects were patients aged 65-99 years who underwent surgical treatment for femoral neck fractures or intertrochanteric fractures. A generalized estimating equation model with Poisson distribution and logarithmic link function was used to estimate adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to measure associations between renal dialysis and cumulative mortality in various time frames. RESULTS The total number of patients included in this study was 16,818. These patients were divided into two groups: 116 (0.69%) in the dialysis group and 16,702 (99.31%) in the no-dialysis group. The mean length of hospital stay was 43.87 ± 48.45 days in the dialysis group and 36.29 ± 37.49 days in the no-dialysis group (P = 0.095). The effect of renal dialysis on all-cause mortality was 2.29-fold (aRR; 95% CI, 1.29-4.06; P = 0.005) within 30 days and 1.72-fold (aRR; 95% CI, 1.34-2.21; P < 0.001) within 1-year after hip fracture compared to the no-dialysis group. And, the effect of renal dialysis of in-hospital mortality was 2.72-fold (aRR; 95% CI, 1.71-4.33; P < 0.001) compared to the no-dialysis group. CONCLUSION Elderly patients who underwent dialysis have very high mortality rates after hip fracture. Therefore, it is considered that postoperative care through multidisciplinary management and understanding of pathophysiology for the ESRD patients is necessary.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease and its comorbid conditions, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, diabetes, and obesity, are interconnected conditions that compound the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular mortality, and exponentiate health care costs. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) are novel diabetes medications that prevent cardiovascular events and kidney failure. Clinical trials exploring the cardiovascular and kidney outcomes of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA have fundamentally shifted the treatment paradigm of diabetes. Clinical guidelines for diabetes management recommend a more holistic approach beyond glycemic control and emphasize heart and kidney protection of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA. However, the adoption of prescribing SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA for patients with diabetes and high cardiovascular and kidney risk has been slow. In this review, we provide a decision-making tool to help clinicians determine when to consider SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA for heart and kidney protection. First, we discuss a comprehensive risk assessment for patients with diabetic kidney disease. We compare the effectiveness of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA for different risk categories. Then, we present a decision algorithm using cardiovascular and kidney failure risk stratification and the strength of current evidence for the use of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA. Lastly, we review the adverse effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA and propose mitigation strategies.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the changes in cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who were candidates for kidney-pancreas transplantation (KPTx) from 1999 to 2017. METHODS Patients with T1D referred for KPTx evaluation were included. The cohort was divided into five groups according to the year of evaluation (1999-2002, 2003-2006, 2007-2010, 2011-2014 and 2015-2017). The control of CVRFs and the prevalence of prior CVD were evaluated. RESULTS We evaluated 360 patients (64.4% men, age 38.9 ± 7.1 years). LDL-cholesterol <100 mg/dl increased from 22.7% to 76.9% (1999-2002 vs. 2015-2017; p < 0.001), as did the use of statins (from 24.7% to 74.5%; p < 0.001). Systolic blood pressure decreased from 138.8 ± 27.6 to 125.1 ± 27.9 mmHg (p = 0.001) and current smokers from 48% to 25% (p = 0.018). Intensive insulin treatment increased from 34.4% to 93.6% (p < 0.001). Diabetes duration before the initiation of renal replacement therapy increased from 23 ± 5.5 to 26.9 ± 8.9 years (p = 0.001). Overall, 30.3% had previous CVD, without significant changes over time (p = 0.699), albeit patients were older and had longer diabetes duration. CONCLUSIONS Patients with T1D and ESRD referred for KPTx have better control of CVRFs over time, which might lead to a decrease in cardiovascular events.
