The prevalence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing worldwide. T1D reduces life expectancy due to complications including cardiovascular disease. Sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors are a new class of drugs developed to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D), and now they can be used as an adjunc …

Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic disease with prominent morbidity, it can lead to many adverse effects and complications, such as chronic nephrosis…

Dapagliflozin improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is approved in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with inadequate glycemic control. The objectives of this work were to characterize the dapagliflozin pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients wi …

Dapagliflozin 10 mg could achieve a better outcome in efficacy and could not increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Although it may induce a higher risk of DKA and genital infection, there was no significant difference between dapagliflozin 10 mg and 5 mg. Our outcomes indicate that dapagliflozin 10mg h …

To clarify the frequency of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus receiving dapagliflozin combination therapy to reduce their basal insulin dose. Sixty subjects were assigned to two groups according to their basal insulin-to-total daily dose (TDD) ratio: group A (basal insulin/TDD & …

These are the first reported cases of SIRS in which dapagliflozin, an SGLT-2 inhibitor, was used. The substantial reduction in the IM insulin dose following the addition of dapagliflozin in our reported cases of SIRS suggests a possible novel mechanism for dapagliflozin beyond its glucosuric effects …

The oral sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, is used to treat kidney disease, heart failure, and diabetes in adults, but has not been well studied in pediatrics, and does not have a recognized place in therapy in current practice guidelines. The purpose of this review is to summ …

Objective Young people with type 1 diabetes are likely to gain body weight and not achieve optimal glycemic control with only high doses of insulin. This study examined the efficacy of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin as an adjunct-to-insulin therapy in young Japane …

Dapagliflozin has been used to treat patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus; however, the actual drug efficacy of dapagliflozin on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and whether there is a rebound from dapagliflozin efficacy on HbA1c remain unknown. The present study aimed to explore the actual therapeutic …

Purpose: Dapagliflozin has been used extensively in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, due to the potential diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) risk of dapagliflozin, its use in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is limited. Here, we reported an obese patient with T1DM and inadequat …

At 24 months, the decline in eGFR was significantly lower in the dapagliflozin group than in the non-use group without increasing diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia.

CKD animals exhibited depletion of the key protein constituents of the colonic epithelial TJ which was associated with systemic inflammation, oxidative stress and endotoxemia. Administration of AST-120 attenuated uremia-induced disruption of colonic epithelial TJ and the associated endotoxemia, oxid …

Itching along with other problems can be one of the factors exacerbating the sufferings and disturbing the comfort of patients with chronic renal failure. The present research aimed to study the effects of omega-3 on the treatment of uremic pruritus in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this crossover r …

Currently, there are insufficient or conflicting data regarding interventions evaluated in clinical trials for mitigation of vascular calcification in people with CKD. Therapy involving magnesium or sodium thiosulfate appears most promising, but evaluable studies were small and of short duration.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibits progressive kidney dysfunction and leads to disturbed homeostasis, including accumulation of uremic toxins, activated renin-angiotensin system, and increased oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokines. Patients ...

Oral activated charcoal effectively delays the onset of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. OAC appears to delay the development of vascular calcifications in stage 3-4 CKD patients.

The developed method enabled estimation of the amplitude of DDI by activated charcoal administered in a certain dosing interval, whereas overestimation of AUCRe was observed for drugs that undergo extensive enterohepatic circulation.

Activated charcoal induces an increase in blood glucose level that is statistically but not clinically significant. The increase is comparable to the increase after breakfast.

Development of acute abdominal pain after Kayexalate and activated charcoal administration should prompt clinician to consider intestinal necrosis. Concomitant use should be avoided to minimize the risk of this devastating but preventable condition.Development ...

Obesity is becoming a major public health problem worldwide. Making charcoal from wood ("Sumi-yaki") has been a traditional activity in the southern part of Nagano Prefecture for centuries, with activated charcoal having reported detoxifying effects. However, it is unclear whether activated charcoal …

Oral activated charcoal (OAC), a potent adsorbent with no systemic absorption, has been used for centuries to treat poisoning. Recent studies have suggested its potential efficacy in protecting the colonic microbiota against detrimental effects of antibiotics. In a dose-finding safety and feasibilit …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a non-reversible and progressive disease affecting the kidneys, significantly impacting global public health. One of the complications of chronic kidney disease is impaired intestinal barrier function, which may allow harmful ...

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of increased blood flow rate and the administration of an activated charcoal suspension on the severity of uremic pruritus in hemodialysis patients in a crossover clinical trial. Each group (n = 20) received three 2-week interventions, including increa …

(NaturalHealth365) One in 7 American adults has chronic kidney disease. Activated charcoal helps reduce associated toxins and waste in blood.
