Effects on calcium phosphate homeostasis after sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

SGLT2i can effectively slow down the progression of phosphate retention in advanced CKD with T2DM.
