Enhanced Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Patients With Acute Kidney Disease Through Thiazolidinedione

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

TZD demonstrated a notable reduction in mortality, cardiovascular events, and kidney-related adverse events among T2DM patients with AKD. These findings suggest a potential benefit of TZD usage for managing cardiovascular events in T2DM patients with AKD.
