Abstract
The renoprotective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in both diabetic and nondiabetic nephropathy are widely recognized due to results from randomized controlled trials notably the DAPA-CKD and EMPA-KIDNEY trials. Research exploring the mechanisms of renoprotection indicates that SGLT2 inhibitors exert protective effects on podocytes by enhancing autophagy and stabilizing the structure of podocytes and basement membranes. Furthermore, reductions in lipotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation have been confirmed with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. Recent clinical studies have also begun to explore the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on nondiabetic podocytopathies, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. In this review, we summarize clinical and laboratory studies that focus on the podocyte-protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors, exploring the potential for broader applications of this novel therapeutic agent in kidney disease.
期刊介绍：
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice (formerly The Korean Journal of Nephrology; ISSN 1975-9460, launched in 1982), the official journal of the Korean Society of Nephrology, is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English. Its ISO abbreviation is Kidney Res Clin Pract. To provide an efficient venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to basic renal science and clinical practice, the journal offers open access (free submission and free access) and considers articles on all aspects of clinical nephrology and hypertension as well as related molecular genetics, anatomy, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, and immunology. In particular, the journal focuses on translational renal research that helps bridging laboratory discovery with the diagnosis and treatment of human kidney disease. Topics covered include basic science with possible clinical applicability and papers on the pathophysiological basis of disease processes of the kidney. Original researches from areas of intervention nephrology or dialysis access are also welcomed. Major article types considered for publication include original research and reviews on current topics of interest. Accepted manuscripts are granted free online open-access immediately after publication, which permits its users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of its articles to facilitate access to a broad readership. Circulation number of print copies is 1,600.
