Popis: | Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a financial burden on most patients from low/ middle income countries. Glycaemic control with affordable hypoglycemic agents may influence on the prognosis of diabetic nephropathy. Objectives: We aimed to compare the rates of CKD progression and proteinuria in the type 2 diabetic population in response to the use of various hypoglycemic agents. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of a total of 250 patients of Afro-Caribbean descent at the University hospital of the West Indies between 2018 and 2019 was conducted. The use of hypoglycaemic agents and changes in albuminuria were calculated as odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval (CI). A P value |
