Moreover, T2D patient have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular or renal complications, which are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this population. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a new class of glucose-lowering medications that block the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney, thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion, and lowering blood glucose levels. The beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibition extend beyond glycaemic control, and include improvement in blood pressure, body weight, uric acid concentrations, liver steatosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. In dedicated cardiovascular outcome trials, SGLT2i treatment was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of cardiovascular events and renal endpoints. In this review, we summarize the evidence for extra-glycemic effects of SGLT2i and the potential mechanisms driving cardiorenal protection exerted by this class of medications.Keywords: type 2 diabetes, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, cardiovascular effects, renal effects, reviewBonora BMAvogaro AFadini GPDove Medical Pressarticletype 2 diabetessodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitorscardiovascular effectsrenal effectsreviewSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 161-174 (2020)
