Can Metformin improve outcomes in patients with diabetic nephropathy? How does it slow the progression of kidney damage?
Metformin has shown potential in improving outcomes for diabetic nephropathy by reducing blood sugar levels, thereby decreasing kidney damage progression through reduced intraglomerular pressure.
In patients with diabetic nephropathy, metformin can be beneficial by improving glycemic control and lowering insulin levels, which in turn reduces kidney inflammation and fibrosis.
