Objectives. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and to recommend appropriate medication care scheme. Methods. 8371 T2DM patients from four dapagliflozin studies and two canagliflozin studies were collected for analyzing with nonlinear mixed effect model (NONMEM). The change rates of UACR from baseline were intended to be evaluation indicators. Results. In the present study, there was no significant difference in the effects on UACR using dapagliflozin or canagliflozin treatment in T2DM patients. The maximal effect ( E max ) and the treatment duration of reaching half of E max (ET50) from SGLT-2 inhibitors on UACR in T2DM patients were -19.2% and 0.448 weeks, respectively. Further, the treatment duration to reach 25%, 50%, 75%, and 80% E max was 0.150 weeks, 0.448 weeks, 1.344 weeks, and 1.792 weeks, respectively. Namely, for achieving the plateau period (80% of E max ) of SGLT-2 inhibitors on UACR in T2DM patients, 10 mg/day dapagliflozin (or 100 mg/day canagliflozin) should be taken for at least 1.792 weeks. Conclusions. To our knowledge, the present study explored the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on UACR in T2DM patients, meanwhile, recommended appropriate medication care scheme for the first time.
