    AbstractBackground and Objectives: Percutaneous procedures using contrast agents are modern diagnosis and treatment methods for cardiovascular diseases. Contrast use may cause nephropathy, especially in diabetic patients. SGLT2 inhibitors have strong cardioprotective and renal protective effects. In our study, we investigated the effectiveness of this drug group in preventing the development of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN). Materials and Methods: The results of 312 diabetic patients who underwent CAG were analyzed. The study group included 104 DM patients using SGLT2 and the control group did not use SGLT2. These groups were compared with each other in terms of clinical, demographic, and laboratory parameters. Results: The groups were similar characteristics. However, post-CAG creatinine values compared with before the procedure, the development of CIN was observed to be significantly less in the group using SGLT2 inhibitor (p = 0.03). When the results of the multivariate analysis were examined, it was seen that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced the risk of CIN (odds ratio (OR): 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0,142-0.966, p = 0.004). Conclusions: Our study showed that SGLT2 inhibitors may be protective against the development of CIN, especially in patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes.
