ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. ESKD has a high prevalence in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). CKD increases the chances of hypoglycaemia by different mechanisms, causes insulin resistance and a decrease in insulin metabolism. Both the "Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes" (KDIGO) and "American Diabetes Association" (ADA) guidelines recommend the use of insulin as part of treatment, but the type of basal insulin is not specified. METHODS: We reviewed the literature to determine whether first- and second-generation basal insulins are effective and safe in CKD patients. We reviewed specific pivotal studies conducted by pharmaceutical laboratories, as well as independent studies. CONCLUSIONS: Basal insulins are safe and effective in patients with CKD and diabetes mellitus but we do not have specific studies. Given that CKD is one of the main complications of type 2 DM, and insulin specific treatment in the final stages, the absence of studies is striking. Real-life data are also important since trials such as pivotal studies do not fully represent actual patients. Treatment should be individualized until we have specific trials in this type of population.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Dulaglutide is an agonist of "glucagon-like peptide type 1″ receptors (arGLP1). The clinical efficacy of this molecule is based on reductions in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and weight, data shown in the pivotal AWARD studies. METHODS: We propose a retrospective and multicenter study that allows evaluating the effectiveness of dulaglutide at 24 months after treatment began, under conditions of usual clinical practice, and comparing the results obtained with those that are reflected in the controlled trials. RESULTS: The results show a reduction in the HbA1c levels -1.4% at 6 M and this reduction were maintained throughout 12 M and 24 M (p < 0.001). Plasma glucose showed significant reductions around -30 mg / dL at 6 months (p < 0.001) that remained until the end of the follow-up at 12 and 24 M, respectively. The weight decreased significantly at 6 M (p < 0.001) but continued decreasing at 12 and 24 M, showing statistically significant differences (p: 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our results are similar to those obtained in pivotal clinical trials and confirm these benefits in real life.
