Preclinical evidence supports sotagliflozin's superior efficacy in attenuating salt-induced kidney damage

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes, have significant heart- and kidney- protective effects. In the kidney, SGLT2 reabsorbs approximately 97% offiltered glucose in the S1 and S2 segments of the proximal tubule, while SGLT1reabsorbs the remainder in the S3 segment.

Study shows record surge in reduced kidney function worldwide

Record numbers of men and women globally are now estimated to have reduced kidney function, a new study shows. Figures rose from 378 million people with the disease in 1990 to 788 million in 2023 as the world population grew and aged, making it for the first time a top 10 cause of death worldwide.

New study reveals CKD affects nearly 800 million adults worldwide

The number of adults living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has more than doubled since 1990, reaching nearly 800 million worldwide, according to new research published in The Lancet. The findings come from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 study, which tracked CKD trends among adults age 20 years and older across 204 countries and territories from 1990 through 2023.

SGLT2 inhibitors show consistent cardio-renal protection in 70,000 patients

In late-breaking presentations at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week meeting and simultaneously published in two companion papers in JAMA, the findings are based on data from over 70,000 participants across 10 major randomised controlled trials. The meta-analyses were conducted by the SGLT2 Inhibitor Meta-analysis Cardio-Renal Trialists' Consortium (SMART-C), led by The George Institute for Global Health.

Retrospective study highlights effective management of post-neurosurgery space-occupying cysts

Space-occupying cyst (SOC), a fluid-filled sac that grows in a confined area of the body, is one of the major complications associated with brain tumor resection. Understanding the clinical features and management principles for such cysts can help patients to experience a favorable prognosis.
