Empagliflozin: a new strategy for nephroprotection in diabetes

Empagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium–glucose symporter type 2 (SGLT2), is a new class of antidiabetic agents with numerous pleiotropic effects. The review summarises data on the influence of empagliflozin on the structural and functional changes in the kidneys of the models of diabetes me...
