SGLT2 inhibitors were linked to lower risks of kidney, cardiovascular, and hepatic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and cirrhosis.
The study analyzed data from 24,259 patients, comparing outcomes between those treated with SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors.
Patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors had a significantly reduced risk of end-stage kidney disease and acute kidney injury.
Major adverse cardiovascular events were less frequent in patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors compared to those on DPP-4 inhibitors.
Fewer hepatic decompensation events were observed in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors, suggesting potential benefits for this population.
