Type 2 diabetes causes cardio-renal complications and is treated with different combination therapies. The renal hemodynamics profile of such combination therapies has not been evaluated in detail.
Patients (N = 97) with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive either empagliflozin and linagliptin (E+L group) or metformin and insulin glargine (M+I group) for 3 months. Renal hemodynamics were assessed with para-aminohippuric acid and inulin for renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Intraglomerular hemodynamics were calculated according the Gomez´ model.
Treatment with E+L reduced GFR (p = 0.003), but RPF remained unchanged (p = 0.536). In contrast, M+I not only reduced GFR (p = 0.001), but also resulted in a significant reduction of RPF (p < 0.001). Renal vascular resistance (RVR) decreased with E+L treatment (p = 0.001) but increased with M+I treatment (p = 0.001). The changes in RPF and RVR were different between the two groups (both p < 0.001). Analysis of intraglomerular hemodynamics revealed that E+L did not change resistance of afferent arteriole (R) (p = 0.116), but diminished resistance of efferent arterioles (R) (p = 0.001). In M+I group R was increased (p = 0.006) and R remained unchanged (p = 0.538). The effects on R (p < 0.05) and on R (p < 0.05) differed between the groups.
In patients with type 2 diabetes and preserved renal function treatment with M+I resulted in reduction of renal perfusion and increase in vascular resistance, in contrast to treatment with E+I that preserved renal perfusion and reduced vascular resistance. Moreover, different underlying effects on the resistance vessels have been estimated according to the Gomez model, with M+I increasing R and E+L predominantly decreasing R, which is in contrast to the proposed sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor effects.

2 型糖尿病可引起心肾并发症,并采用不同的联合疗法进行治疗。但这些联合疗法的肾脏血液动力学特征尚未得到详细评估。
97 例 2 型糖尿病患者随机分为恩格列净和利拉鲁肽(E+L 组)或二甲双胍和甘精胰岛素(M+I 组)治疗 3 个月。用对氨马尿酸和菊粉评估肾血浆流量(RPF)和肾小球滤过率(GFR)以评估肾脏血液动力学。根据 Gomez 模型计算肾小球内血液动力学。
E+L 治疗可降低 GFR(p=0.003),但 RPF 保持不变(p=0.536)。相反,M+I 不仅降低 GFR(p=0.001),而且还导致 RPF 显著降低(p<0.001)。E+L 治疗可降低肾血管阻力(RVR)(p=0.001),而 M+I 治疗则增加 RVR(p=0.001)。两组间 RPF 和 RVR 的变化不同(均 p<0.001)。肾小球内血液动力学分析显示,E+L 不改变入球小动脉阻力(R)(p=0.116),但降低出球小动脉阻力(R)(p=0.001)。M+I 组 R 增加(p=0.006),R 保持不变(p=0.538)。两组间 R(p<0.05)和 R(p<0.05)的变化存在差异。
在肾功能正常的 2 型糖尿病患者中,M+I 治疗可导致肾灌注减少和血管阻力增加,而 E+I 治疗可保留肾灌注并降低血管阻力。此外,根据 Gomez 模型估计了对阻力血管的不同潜在作用,M+I 增加 R,E+L 主要降低 R,这与提出的钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2 抑制剂作用相反。
