Diabetic kidney disease has become the leading cause for ESRD worldwide.Albuminuria is a major risk factor for progression of diabetic nephropathy. SGLT2 inhibitors are the first antiglycaemic drugs with direct renoprotection, which are thought to protect the kidneys by lowering albuminuria, stimulating urinary glucose excretion ,reducing systemic blood pressure, while simultaneously improving multiple other risk factors in a glucose-independent manner. However, the precise mechanisms behind the renal beneficial effect of SGLT2 inhibitors are not entirely elucidated, although ongoing outcome trials will confirm these findings. This study is to assess the impact of three months of treatment with SGLT2 Inhibitions on different levels of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibition treatment on markers for podocyte damage , renal fibrosis, inflammation,oxidative stress and renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system.
