2025-04-02
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background and Objective Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to prevent the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, their impact on renal fibrosis remains largely uninvestigated. This study aimed to explore the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin on renal fibrosis in DKD patients and DKD models, and the molecular mechanisms involved. Met...
