Several crosssectional and prospective studies have shown that metabolic syndrome and its related components are associated with both prevalent and incident CKD .
Although the mechanisms for these cardiovascular benefits of Metformin and vildagliptin remain unclear, they extend well beyond glycemic lowering, and therefore are probably best considered diverse "cardiometabolic" pharmaceuticals rather than simply type 2 diabetes drugs.
Metformin and vildagliptin have known vasculoprotective actions, but the value of these drugs on drug-naïve diabetic patients during 24 week use warrants investigation. The investigator's purpose was to observe their effects on weight control, Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, Metabolic Syndrome risk, and diabetic nephrooathy Progression.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: metformin treated group
A group of patients treated with a daily dose of metformin
|
Drug: Captopril Tablets
used to treat hypertension in metabolic syndrome patients and as a renal protector Drug: MetFORMIN 500 Mg Oral Tablet antihyperglycemic drug for elevated plasma glucose level and help in weight loss for patients suffering from diabetes or metabolic syndrome |
Experimental: vildagliptin treated group
A group of patients treated with a daily dose of vildagliptin
|
Drug: Vildagliptin
to compare the effect of both metformin and vildagliptin on the progression of diabetes and metabolic complications and risk factors Drug: Captopril Tablets used to treat hypertension in metabolic syndrome patients and as a renal protector |
- progression of metabolic syndrome complications [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]investigate the effect of antidiabetic drugs on improving patients' cases and reduce complcations of metablic syndrome and that will be assessed by measuring glucose serum levels, insulin plasma levels to calculate insulin resistance by HOMA-ir
- estimation of metabolic syndrome deterioration [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]study the effect of both antidiabetic drugs on blood pressure
- reduce nephropathic impairement [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]study the impact of both metformin and vildagliptin on reducing kidney deterioration for patients suffering from metabolic syndrome and that can be assessed by measuring kidney function serologically using ELISA kits for each parameter
