Abstract

Objective: To identify the benefits of using sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitor (iSGLT2) in patients with or without diabetes mellitus 2 and chronic kidney disease. Methods: This is a systematic intervention review conducted from detailed studies found in the following databases: U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health, Wiley Online Library and Excerpta Medica dataBASE (Embase). The Health Sciences Descriptors were used: ''Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors'' AND ''Heart Failure''. The total sample of articles went through inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 14 articles. Only randomized clinical trials that contemplated the research question, which were relevant and current to the theme, were used. Results: We verified that this class of iSGLT2 drugs reduces cardiovascular death and hospitalization in patients with reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. These medications have shown promise in advanced chronic kidney disease. Final considerations: Using a group of drugs discovered and tested less than a decade ago, further studies are needed to ensure greater safety and use of drugs in stage 5 chronic kidney disease, enabling to prevent adverse reactions and ensure longevity.
