    Consensus Statement of Endocrinology, Cardiology, and Nephrology(ENCARNE) Experts on Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Cardiovascular and Renal Complications of Diabetes
    (2021) Altay, Hakan
    An array of medical practitioners, including endocrinologists, family physicians, internal medicine specialists in nephrology and cardiology, unceasingly investigate, diagnose and treat over 8 million diabetic patients in Turkey. Apart from routine glycemic regulation, several frequent coexisting comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and their associated complications should also be promptly managed. Due to the concomitant occurrence of complications, the involvement of additional specialties in the precise management of such conditions becomes indispensable. Owing to the ever-expanding knowledge about the prevalence and clinical manifestations of diabetes, various international medical societies publish annual diabetes guidelines, which makes it too cumbersome as well as challenging for the practicing physicians to follow these comprehensive guidelines in clinical practice. There is an unmet need for an easyto-read and concise document for all physicians working for diabetes management for a standardized approach for better management of diabetes and improved patient care. This consensus report was prepared collectively by the Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism Turkey, Turkish Society of Cardiology, Turkish Society of Nephrology, Turkish Society of Hypertension and Renal Diseases to prevent cardiac and renal complications of diabetes, to timely detect these complications by using pertinent measures and to develop, implement and monitor strategies for managing them effectively.

    Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in heart failure therapy
    (2020) Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Altay, Hakan; Cahn, Avivit; Celik, Ahmet; Demir, Serafettin; Kilicaslan, Baris; Nalbantgil, Sanem; Raz, Itamar; Temizhan, Ahmet; Yildirimturk, Ozlem; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; AAE-1392-2021; 32281958
    Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are a new class of drugs for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) which inhibit urinary glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the nephron and result in glucosuria, natriuresis and diuresis. In large, randomized clinical trials, SGLT-2i have been shown to reduce major cardiovascular (CV) events and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations in patients with T2DM who have atherosclerotic CV disease or CV risk factors. In these trials, SGLT-2i is have their greatest and most consistent effect on reducing the risk of HF hospitalization. The reduction in HF hospitalization was also observed in subgroups of patients with a HF diagnosis at baseline, which raised the possibility of a clinical benefit of SGLT-2i in HF patients, regardless of the presence or absence of T2DM. In very recently published DAPA-HF trial, a SGLT-2i, dapagliflozin treatment on top of standard HF therapy has been shown to have clear clinical benefits in terms of reducing HF hospitalization, CV mortality, all-cause mortality and improving quality of life in HF patients. This compelling evidence suggests that SGLT-2i have a potential to be an effective treatment option in HF, regardless of diabetes. This article provides a comprehensive overview focused on the role of SGLT-2i in the treatment of HF.

    Serum cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in predicting the severity of coronary artery disease in diabetic patients
    (2016) Okyay, Kaan; Yildirir, Aylin; Cicek, Mutlu; Aydinalp, Alp; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; 0000-0002-9635-6313; 0000-0001-8750-5287; 0000-0002-3761-8782; 0000-0001-6134-8826; 27182610; AAG-8233-2020; A-4947-2018; AAD-5841-2021; AAK-7355-2020
    Objective: Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are biomarkers of renal functions. We evaluated their roles in predicting the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Fifty-two consecutive type 2 diabetic patients (32 males, 65.7 +/- 8.6 years) who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) for stable CAD were included in this single-center, prospective, cross-sectional study. Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60mL/min/1.73m(2) and with a history of by-pass surgery and/or coronary stent implantation were excluded. The vessel score and Gensini score were calculated to assess the presence and severity of CAD. Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman test, and multiple linear regression analysis were used for the main statistical analyses. Results: Serum cystatin C levels were higher in patients with multivessel disease than in those with single vessel disease [1260 ng/mL (953-1640) vs. 977 ng/mL (599-1114), p=0.017]. According to the median Gensini score, the higher score group also had higher cystatin C levels than the lower score group [1114 ng/mL (948-1567) vs. 929 ng/mL (569-1156), p=0.009]. However, serum NGAL levels were similar between these subgroups. There was a positive correlation between cystatin C and Gensini score (r=0.334, p=0.016). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed serum cystatin C as an independent predictor of the Gensini score (beta=0.360, t=2.311, p=0.026). These results may aid in defining cystatin C as a surrogate marker of the extent of CAD in further clinical trials. Conclusion: Serum Cystatin C, but not NGAL levels, could predict the severity of CAD in diabetic patients.
