Abstract
Background
To investigate the safety and efficiency of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in patients with diabetic kidney disease.
Methods
We conducted a comprehensive literature search across multiple databases, including Embase, PubMed, CNKI, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, from inception to January 2024. The search focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that directly compared DPP-4 inhibitors with placebos or other glucose-lowering therapies. A meta-analysis was performed to pool data and quantify the therapeutic effects and safety profile of DPP-4 inhibitors in DKD.
Results
Twenty-three RCTs with 16,378 participants were included. DPP-4 inhibitors significantly reduced urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and HbA1c levels compared to controls (UACR: SMD -0.23, 95% CI: -0.41, -0.06; p = 0.01; HbA1c: SMD -0.32, 95% CI: -0.51, -0.14; p = 0.0006). A higher proportion of patients in the DPP-4 inhibitor group achieved at least a 30% reduction in UACR (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.10, 2.73; p = 0.02). However, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum creatinine (SCr) changes were similar between groups (eGFR: p = 1.00; SCr: p = 0.67). No significant differences were found in all-cause mortality (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.83, 1.06; p = 0.31) or hypoglycemia risk (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.80, 1.52; p = 0.54) between the DPP-4 inhibitor and control groups.
Conclusions
DPP-4 inhibitors exhibit renoprotective properties, indicated by significant reductions in UACR and HbA1c levels. They do not appear to increase the risk of hypoglycemia, presenting a favorable safety profile when compared to placebo or alternative antidiabetic agents.
期刊介绍:
We also encourage the submission of manuscripts presenting preclinical and very preliminary research that may stimulate further investigation of potentially relevant findings, as well as in-depth review articles on specific therapies or disease states, and applied health delivery or pharmacoeconomics.
CTR encourages and supports the submission of manuscripts describing:
• Interventions designed to understand or improve human health, disease treatment or disease prevention;
• Studies that focus on problems that are uncommon in resource-rich countries;
• Research that is "under-published" because of limited access to monetary resources such as English language support and Open Access fees (CTR offers deeply discounted English language editing);
• Republication of articles previously published in non-English journals (eg, evidence-based guidelines) which could be useful if translated into English;
• Preclinical and clinical product development studies that are not pursued for further investigation based upon early phase results.
