Type 2 Diabetes Diabetic Nephropathy | Drug: SGLT2 Inhibition | Phase 4 |
Objective: The primary objective is to assess the impact of three months of treatment with SGLT2 Inhibition on Different levels of Albuminuria in Patients With type 2 diabetes and to seek the relationship of this influences to relevant risk markers in the pathology of diabetic renal disease.
Design: prospective ,intervention, case-controlled , single center study. Treatment period: 12 weeks. Patient population: 60 patients with type 2 diabetes recruited from Zhongshan Hospital Xiamen University in accordance with the study in- and exclusion criteria.
Intervention: Dapagliflozine 10 mg once daily tablet treatment or Empagliflozin10 mg once daily tablet treatment or Canagliflozin 100 mg once daily tablet treatment. Endpoints: Primary outcome: evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibition treatment on on urinary albuminuria, kidney function and eGFR .
Secondary endpoints To assess the effect of SGLT2 inhibition on markers for podocyte damage , renal fibrosis, inflammation,oxidative stress and renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system。 Timeframe: Recruiting planned from October 2019, inclusion over the following 12 months. Last patient is expected to be completed October 2020. Data analysis completed December 2020, publication autumn 2021.

- Change in urinary albuminuria [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]a clean-catch 24- hour urine sample and spot urine sample were collected to assess urinary albuminuria,which will be evaluated at week 0, and at end study week 12 (+/- 1 week)
- Change in eGFR [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]eGFR was calculated by modified glomerular filtration rate estimating equation for Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease.
- change in nephrin [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]To assess effect of SGLT2 inhibition intervention on glomerular podocyte injury by detecting the expression of renal nephrin.
- change in TGF-β1 [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]To assess effect of SGLT2 inhibition intervention on glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis by detecting the expression of TGF-β1
- change in IL-6 [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]To assess effect of SGLT2 inhibition intervention on inflammation biomarkers by detecting the levels of interleukin-6.
- change in TNFα [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]To evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibition treatment on inflammation, biomarkers by detecting the levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha.
- changes of AGEs [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]To evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibition treatment on oxidative stress index, the changes of AGEs.
- changes of 8-OH-dG [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]
To evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibition treatment on oxidative stress index by detecting the levels of 8-OH-dG.
Urinary 8-OH-dG concentrations were assayed using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
- Change in uric acid [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]To evaluate the levels of serum uric acid before and after SGLT2 inhibition treatment.
