Zusammenfassung

Seit Ende 2012 steht in Deutschland eine neue Substanzklasse zur Therapie des Typ 2 Diabetes zur Verfügung. Das Wirkprinzip ist neu und beruht auf einer Modulation der Glukoserückresorption im Harn durch Inhibition so genannter Sodium Glucose Linked Transporter (SGLT). Dadurch wird eine therapeutische Glukosurie induziert. Dies ist ein für den Arzt ungewohnter Behandlungsansatz, der die Niere als Ort der Glukoseregulation in den therapeutischen Mittelpunkt stellt. Daher sind eine nähere Betrachtung der hierfür verantwortlichen renalen Mechanismen sowie eine Darstellung der Vor- und Nachteile dieser Medikamentengruppe sinnvoll.

Abstract

Since end of 2012 a new therapeutical approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is available in Germany. It relies on the modulation of glucose re-absorption in the kidney by inhibition of so called Sodium Glucose Linked Transporters (SGLT) thereby leading to therapeutical glucosuria. Putting the kidney in the centre of therapeutical approach of glucose regulation is unfamiliar for physicians. Therefore, it is helpful to elucidate the underlying renal mechanisms and to present the advantages and disadvantages of this new therapeutic class.
