Abstract
Objectives: This clinical study assessed the three-year, long-term effects of esaxerenone, a non-steroidal aldosterone receptor blocker, on Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, diabetic kidney disease, and hypertension who were receiving renin-angiotensin system inhibitors.
Materials and methods: Data from a computerized diabetic care database were used to retrospectively compare esaxerenone users (Group A) with non-esaxerenone users (Group B). Propensity score weighting was applied to Group B. The study primarily focused on percent changes in the Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) from baseline and also examined the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), blood pressure, serum potassium levels, and HbA1c.
Results: There were 199 patients in Group A and 199 in Group B, matched 1:1 using propensity scores. UACR and blood pressure were significantly lower in Group A than in Group B. Geometric mean percent changes in UACR from baseline between the two groups were as follows: - 62.7% at 1 year (95% Confidence Interval (CI): - 91.0 to - 34.1%), - 48.9% at 2 years (95% CI: - 79.4 to - 19.3%), and - 63.8% at 3 years (95% CI: - 107.4 to - 20.2%). Additionally, the present study examined the impact of combining esaxerenone with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists and showed consistent effects on UACR irrespective of these medications. Esaxerenone slightly lowered eGFR with a low risk of hyperkalemia but did not adversely impact glucose metabolism.
Conclusions: Esaxerenone exerted antihypertensive and antialbuminuric effects in patients with type 2 diabetes, diabetic kidney disease, and hypertension.
期刊介绍:
Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
