Abstract
The kidney plays a major physiological role in glucose homeostasis but also contributes to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D), mediated by renal sodium glucose cotransporters (SGLTs). This recognition led to development of SGLT2 inhibitors that inhibit proximal renal tubular renal glucose and sodium reabsorption. The glucoretic and natriuretic effect of SGLT2 inhibitors is associated with reductions in HbA1c levels, body weight, systolic blood pressure and triglycerides.
Major vascular complications of T2D include cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Results from several cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) with these drugs have highlighted benefits in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events by 11%, reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for heart failure (HF) by 23% and reducing risk of progression of renal disease by 45%. Their cardiorenal benefits are apparent across a range of eGFRs (within CKD1-3 groups) and the presence or absence of ischaemic heart disease, HF or T2D. In patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), similar risk reductions in cardiovascular death and HF events are also seen; results from studies in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are awaited. Cardiorenal benefits have been recently reported in patients with CKD, regardless of the presence or absence of T2D.
Indications for use of SGLT2 inhibitors has extended beyond glucose-lowering to a central role in cardiorenal protection. This review will first explore the mechanisms by which glycaemic control, weight loss and cardiovascular risk factors are modulated therapeutically with SGLT2 inhibitors. Subsequently we outline putative mechanisms underpinning the cardiorenal benefits seen, including in HF and CKD, in the context of completed and ongoing clinical studies. Treatment strategies with SGLT2 inhibitors in individuals with CKD or HF, with and/or without T2D are increasingly appealing. Combination therapy with complementary therapeutic agents is also explored.
