METHODS: A retrospective observational cohort study of patients with T2DM at CKD stage G3b-5ND who received SGLT2i as compared to control from 1 January 2015 through 31 December 2021 was recruited. Propensity score assignment at 1:3 ratio by logistic regression was done. All patients were followed for 12 months. Outcomes were changes in phosphate level.
RESULTS: We analyzed 1,450 SGLT2i users and 4,350 control subjects. At the 12th month, SGLT2i users had a slower increase in phosphate levels (absolute change: -0.01 ± 0.28 vs + 0.14 ± 0.34 mmol/L; percentage change: -0.74 % ± 25.56 vs + 10.88 ± 28.15 %, P for both < 0.001). The proportion of patients with high phosphate was lower with SGLT2i (8.2 % vs 24.6 % increase). In the generalized estimating equation, SGLT2i was linked to a longitudinal reduction in phosphate (B -0.039, P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: SGLT2i can effectively slow down the progression of phosphate retention in advanced CKD with T2DM.
