[Use of oral glucose-lowering agents in patients with renal impairment].

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are increasingly numerous, especially in the elderly population. Surprisingly, this situation is often under-recognized or even neglected in clinical practice. Yet, most oral antidiabetic (OAD) agents have limitations in case of renal impairment, either because they require a dose reduction, or are contra-indicated mainly for safety reasons. This clinical case gives the opportunity to discuss the modalities of prescription and cautions to be taken when using most commonly prescribed OAD, metformin, insulin secretagogues (sulfonylureas, repaglinide), DPP-4 inhibitors (gliptins) and SGLT2 inhibitors, in a patient with T2D and CKD.
