Renal Denervation in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

January 25, 2018 updated by: Gao-jun Teng, Zhongda Hospital
Sympathetic overactivity induces insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so we assume that renal denervation (RDN) might improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of multi-electrode catheter-based RDN on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in patients with T2DM.

Detailed Description

Sympathetic overactivity induces insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so it is assumed that renal denervation (RDN) might improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Some clinical studies have shown that glucose metabolism is improved in patients with resistant hypertension both 1 and 3 months after RDN, and fasting glucose, insulin and C-peptide decreased significantly as did insulin resistance assessed by HOMA-IR. But in some clinical studies, RDN did not lead to a significant improvement of insulin sensitivity ≤12 months after treatment, and no effect in systemic sympathetic activity was observed after RDN. Therefore, the efficacy of RDN on glucose metabolism is still in controversy. The investigators wish to investigate the effect of multi-electrode catheter-based RDN on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in patients with T2DM.
