Abstract

The authors conclude that in patients with DM2, more advanced CKD was associated with greater insulin use, proposing different explanations of this relationship, however, we consider that in addition to these findings, within the study there are no patients using Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors (DPP4i), probably by that time they were not being used yet. Therefore, patients with advanced CKD only had insulin as the only option, which explains a greater frequency of its use in this group of patients.

Los autores concluyen que en los pacientes con DM2, la ERC más avanzada se asoció con un mayor uso de insulina, proponiendo diferentes explicaciones de esta relación, sin embargo, consideramos que además de estos hallazgos, dentro del estudio no hay pacientes que utilicen Inhibidores de la Dipeptidil Peptidasa-4 (DPP4i), probablemente para esa época aún no se utilizaban. Por lo tanto, los pacientes con ERC avanzada sólo tenían como única opción la insulina, lo que explica una mayor frecuencia de su uso en este grupo de pacientes.
