Abstract

In the realm of diabetes, the therapeutic panorama has changed for chronic kidney disease with the emergence of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1.


This research aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of the renoprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 RAs in individuals with T2DM and renal complications and to provide comprehensive awareness of the mechanisms, efficacy comparison, and practical advice on visionary care for the management of CKD with T2DM. 


2093 records from 2013 to 2023 were identified electronically using Google Scholar, MEDLINE, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. Grey material was also searched. RCTs and meta-analyses reporting renal composite outcomes, such as changes in eGFR, urinary albumin progression, and ERSD results after GLP-1 RAs and SGLT-2 inhibitors therapy in T2DM with CKD patients were included. HRs, RR, and 95% CI were calculated. Quality assessment was done using the AMSTAR-2 checklist.


The prevalence of renal composite outcomes and albuminuria was (33% to 36%) and (38% to 42%) in SGLT2i-treated patients respectively, compared to GLP-1RAs-treated patients (14% to 24%) and (10% to 20%) proportionately. The annual decline in eGFR (34% versus 15%) and UACR changes (38% versus 20%) was noted between the two groups. Progression to ESRD and serum creatinine also differed significantly in SGLT2i-treated patients than in GLP-1RA-treated patients.


The Preliminary findings from the data analysis indicate that both drug classes exhibit positive effects on renal function improvement, but SGLT2 inhibitors exhibit superiority over GLP-1 receptor agonists regarding renal outcome in T2DM patients with CKD. Further research is required to validate both drugs’ efficacy in this population.
