Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most frequent microvascular complications of diabetes. Approximately 40% of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have CKD and about 50% of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is caused by diabetes [1,2]. The hypoglycemia risk is increased in patients with advanced CKD (CKD stages 4 & 5) since clearance of insulin and of some of the non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents is reduced and there is an impaired renal gluconeogenesis with reduced kidney mass [3,4].

Keywords: Chronic kidney disease; Antihyperglycemic agents; Diabetes mellitus
