Comparative Efficacy of Novel Antidiabetic Drugs on Albuminuria Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Albuminuria, or elevated urinary albumin-to-creatine ratio (UACR), is a biomarker for chronic kidney disease that is routinely monitored in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Head-to-head comparisons of novel antidiabetic drugs on albuminuria outcomes remain limited. This systematic review qualitatively compared the efficacy of novel antidiabetic drugs on improving albuminuria outcomes in patients with T2D.

Methods

We searched the MEDLINE database until December 2022 for Phase 3 or 4 randomized, placebo-controlled trials that evaluated the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors on changes in UACR and albuminuria categories in patients wit
