Effects of canagliflozin on renal oxygenation evaluated by BOLD MRI in patients with type 2 diabetes

Not Applicable

Brief Summary

Although results obtained in recent large clinical trials suggest protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on the kidneys, the precise mechanisms are largely unknown. We speculated that use of an SGLT2 inhibitor improves renal oxygenation. Thus, the effect of canagliflozin on renal oxygenation was examined using BOLD MRI. The findings indicate that canagliflozin may improve renal cortical oxygenation in patients with T2D.
