First in human RCT of SGLT2 inhibition in non-diabetic kidney disease. In this cross over trial, 6 weeks of dapagliflozin did not lower albuminuria, but did induce acute & reversible declines in GFR
Fascinating data whilst awaiting DAPA-CKD
Congrats David, Clare, Hiddo & all involved
The absence of an effect on albuminuria is really interesting. Treatment period too short? Heterogeneity with different glomerular diseases & pathways of injury? Yet we know DAPA-CKD stopped early for overwhelming efficacy
@PagingDoctorT
Yes if acute & reversible - suggests reduction in intraglomerular pressure, which is a driver of progressive nephron loss. In T2DM, SGLT2i causes an acute decline followed by long term preservation of GFR
