DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors effective in diabetics after kidney transplant
Greece:Evidence regarding the utilization of DPP-4 inhibitors and particularly SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists is limited in renal transplant recipients (RTRs).
Incretin based therapies DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors are both safe and effective in recipients of kidney transplant, suggests a recent study published in the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice.
There is a limited evidence on the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and particularly SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Dora Oikonomaki, Evaggelismos General Hospital, Athens, Greece, and colleagues therefore, aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the utility of incretin-based therapies including dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists as well as sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in people with posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM).
