    A meta-analysis of three trials assessing the use of SGLT2 inhibitors for inpatients with COVID-19 showed the drug class did not reduce risk for death or other outcomes compared with usual care or placebo, but was safe.“The fundamental pathobiology of COVID-19 infection and organ damage includes many pathophysiologic properties that, at least theoretically, could be impacted in a favorable

    Objectives The protective role of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in renal outcomes has been revealed by large cardiovascular outcome trials among patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on lupus nephritis (LN) and its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Methods We applied empagliflozin treatment to lupus-prone MRL/ lpr mice to explore the renal protective potential of SGLT2 inhibitors. An SGLT2 knockout monoclonal podocyte cell line was generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to examine the cellular and molecular mechanisms. Results In MRL/ lpr mice treated with empagliflozin, the levels of mouse anti-dsDNA IgG-specific antibodies, serum creatinine and proteinuria were markedly decreased. For renal pathology assessment, both the glomerular and tubulointerstitial damages were lessened by administration of empagliflozin. The levels of SGLT2 expression were increased and colocalised with decreased synaptopodin in the renal biopsy samples

The SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin alleviated #podocyte injury by attenuating inflammation & enhanced autophagy by reducing mTORC1 activity. https://t.co/9EJDG0lOph https://t.co/zlaNSW5MJu

    SGLT2 inhibitors reduce risk for CV death and HF events in patients with any or multiple of HF, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, according to a meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.The researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 13 trials of SGLT2 inhibitors vs. placebo in 90,413 patients with HF, type 2 diabetes and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD).
