Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Several crosssectional and prospective studies have shown that metabolic syndrome and its related components are associated with both prevalent and incident CKD .

Although the mechanisms for these cardiovascular benefits of Metformin and vildagliptin remain unclear, they extend well beyond glycemic lowering, and therefore are probably best considered diverse "cardiometabolic" pharmaceuticals rather than simply type 2 diabetes drugs.

Metformin and vildagliptin have known vasculoprotective actions, but the value of these drugs on drug-naïve diabetic patients during 24 week use warrants investigation. The investigator's purpose was to observe their effects on weight control, Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, Metabolic Syndrome risk, and diabetic nephrooathy Progression.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

the current study is investigating the relation betweeneach componant of metabolic syndrome and kidney injury incidence or prevalence, and the mechanism of its occurence. the kidney protective effect of metformin and vildagliptin and the mechanism of this action whether it is related to their glucose lowering mechanism or not is also one of the important points to be investigated in the study

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: metformin treated group

A group of patients treated with a daily dose of metformin

Drug: Captopril Tablets
used to treat hypertension in metabolic syndrome patients and as a renal protector

Drug: MetFORMIN 500 Mg Oral Tablet
antihyperglycemic drug for elevated plasma glucose level and help in weight loss for patients suffering from diabetes or metabolic syndrome

Experimental: vildagliptin treated group

A group of patients treated with a daily dose of vildagliptin

Drug: Vildagliptin
to compare the effect of both metformin and vildagliptin on the progression of diabetes and metabolic complications and risk factors

Drug: Captopril Tablets
used to treat hypertension in metabolic syndrome patients and as a renal protector

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. progression of metabolic syndrome complications [24 weeks]

    investigate the effect of antidiabetic drugs on improving patients' cases and reduce complcations of metablic syndrome and that will be assessed by measuring glucose serum levels, insulin plasma levels to calculate insulin resistance by HOMA-ir

  2. estimation of metabolic syndrome deterioration [24 weeks]

    study the effect of both antidiabetic drugs on blood pressure

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. reduce nephropathic impairement [24 weeks]

    study the impact of both metformin and vildagliptin on reducing kidney deterioration for patients suffering from metabolic syndrome and that can be assessed by measuring kidney function serologically using ELISA kits for each parameter
