Osmotic diuresis with SGLT2 inhibition: analysis of events related to volume reduction in dapagliflozin clinical trials

Objective: Dapagliflozin reduces hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and lowers blood pressure, at least in part, secondary to mild diuresis consequent to dapagliflozin-induced glucosuria. While blood-pressure lowering may contribute to cardiovascular risk reduction, dapagliflozin-induc...

Description
Summary:Objective: Dapagliflozin reduces hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and lowers blood pressure, at least in part, secondary to mild diuresis consequent to dapagliflozin-induced glucosuria. While blood-pressure lowering may contribute to cardiovascular risk reduction, dapagliflozin-induced diuresis may potentially contribute to adverse events (AEs) of volume reduction. The present analysis compared the frequency of AEs of volume reduction between dapagliflozin and placebo. Methods: Pooled data were assessed from 13 placebo-controlled dapagliflozin clinical trials ≤24 weeks in patients with T2DM, overall, and in those at risk (aged ≥65y, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]
