IntroductionSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antihyperglycaemic agents that promote urinary glucose excretion in the renal proximal tubule and have cardio-protective and renal-protective properties. However, there are several safety concerns related to increased risks of hypoglycaemic, urinary tract infections and ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is a potentially fatal complication that often presents as euglycaemic ketoacidosis during SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. Furthermore, invasive treatment and related surgical stress may increase the risk of ketogenesis. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the incidence of SGLT2 inhibitor-associated postoperative ketoacidosis (SAPKA) among patients who are receiving SGLT2 inhibitors and undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia.Methods and analysisThis multicentre, prospective, observational study will recruit 750 adult Japanese patients with diabetes who are receiving SGLT2 inhibitors and undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia. Urine samples will be collected on postoperative days 0, 1, 2 and 3. Blood gas analysis will be performed when urine ketone positivity is detected. The incidence of postoperative ketoacidosis will be identified based on urine ketone positivity and a blood pH of ≤7.3. The study will also collect data to identify risk factors for SAPKA.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol has been approved by the ethics committee of Kyorin University (approval number: 785, 26 October 2020) and local ethical approval will be required at each participating centre. Study findings will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals and abstracts will be submitted to relevant national and international meetings.Trial registration numberUMIN000042795

The presented literature review is devoted to the cardioprotective capabilities of a new class of antihyperglycemic drugs - sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2), which improve glycemic control through an insulin-independent mechanism of action associated with an increase in urinary glucose excretion. The article presents the results of large-scale clinical trials on the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with and without diabetes, and with cardiovascular diseases or multiple cardiovascular risk factors. A number of the most frequently discussed cardiac specific mechanisms mediated by the SGLT2 inhibitor affecting the Abstract           state of the cardiovascular system are presented. Moreover, the article presents the results of a placebo-controlled clinical trial entitled “Empagliflozin reduces mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk” (EMPA-REG oUtcOmE) to analyze the cardioprotective capabilities of SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant cardiovascular diseases. The article emphasizes the importance of further research to determine the degree of contribution of the above-mentioned mechanisms to the cardioprotective potential of SGLT2 inhibitors. PubMed database was used to identify relevant studies and systematic reviews.

Urinary Glucose

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of medications that target the transporter that reabsorbs ~90% of glucose in the S1 segment of the proximal convoluted tubule. As a result, SGLT2 inhibition increases urinary glucose excretion, effectively lowering plasma glucose levels. In addition to reducing hemoglobin A1c levels, these drugs also lower body weight, blood pressure, and uric acid levels in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Importantly, empagliflozin has been observed to slow progression of kidney disease and reduce dialysis requirements in T2DM patients. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) has collected over 100 cases of acute kidney injury (AKI) for canagloflozin and dapagliflozin since their approval. Of the 101 patients, 96 required hospitalization, 22 required intensive care unit admission, and 15 underwent hemodialysis. The FDA now requires that AKI be listed as a potential side effect of the SGLT2 inhibitors along with cautious prescription of these drugs with other medications, such as renin-angiotensin-system antagonists, diuretics, and NSAIDs. It is unclear, however, whether this FAERS reported “AKI” actually represents structural kidney injury, as randomized, controlled trials of these drugs do not describe AKI as an adverse event despite coprescription with RAS blockers and diuretics. As a result of this FDA warning, diabetic patients with early-stage CKD may not be prescribed an SGLT2 inhibitor for fear of AKI. Thus, it is imperative to ascertain whether the reported AKI represents true structural kidney injury or a functional decline in glomerular filtration rate. We propose using readily available clinical tools with experimental biomarkers of kidney injury and kidney-on-a-chip technology to resolve this question and provide solid evidence about the AKI risk of these drugs for healthcare providers.

Background: Postmarketing surveillance had previously identified the need for revisions in the labeling of the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors drug class related to the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. Other adverse events have been reported. Objective: To examine postmarketing surveillance data of the SGLT2 inhibitors, using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, specifically to assess prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and genital fungal infections. Methods: FAERS case reports submitted between March 2013 and November 2015 were reviewed for 6 SGLT2 inhibitors (mono and combo therapies). The Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) was used to define preferred terms (genital fungal infections: vulvovaginal mycotic infection, vulvovaginal candidiasis, urinary tract infection fungal, and genital candidiasis; UTI: urinary tract infection, genitourinary tract infection, kidney infection, cystitis, and pyelonephritis). Word frequencies were queried using the qualitative data analysis software NVivo 11 (QSR International), and results were then individually reviewed. Results: A total of 12 581 cases were received, but 466 were excluded (total n = 12 115). A total of 348 cases related to genital fungal infections were reported (2.9% of reports submitted): dapagliflozin = 53, empagliflozin/linagliptin = 6, canagliflozin = 267, canagliflozin/metformin = 3, empagliflozin = 17, and dapagliflozin/metformin HCl ER = 2. A total of 727 cases related to UTIs were reported (6% of reports submitted): dapagliflozin = 168, empagliflozin/linagliptin = 5, canagliflozin/metformin = 8, canagliflozin = 503, empagliflozin = 38, and dapagliflozin/metformin HCl ER = 5. Conclusions: A causal relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and the adverse events reported cannot be established due to the nature of postmarketing surveillance. However, health care providers should counsel patients about these potential adverse events.

ObjectiveTo investigate the change of chronic diabetic macular oedema (DMO) in vitrectomised eyes when the administration of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is initiated as a systemic medical treatment.Methods and analysisThis study involved 10 eyes of five patients with chronic DMO lasting more than 6 months who had previously undergone vitrectomy and whose systemic medical treatments were newly changed to SGLT2 inhibitors. In this study, chronic DMO was defined as persistent diffuse macular oedema despite ophthalmic treatment in patients with diabetes. Patients who received antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy or steroids administration, or change of eye-drop medication from at 3 months before and after the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors, were excluded. In this study, visual acuity (VA) and central retinal thickness (CRT, μm) prior to and at 3, 6 and 12 months after the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors were retrospectively compared. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis.ResultsIn the 10 treated eyes, from at baseline to at 3, 6 and 12 months after the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor, median VA (logMAR) improved from 0.35 to 0.15 (p=0.038), 0.2 (p=0.157) and 0.2 (p=0.096), respectively, and median CRT significantly reduced from 500.5 µm to 410 µm (p<0.01), 378 µm (p<0.01) and 339 µm (p<0.01), respectively.ConclusionAlthough this study involved only five patients, our findings indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors might have structural efficacy for chronic DMO in vitrectomised eyes.

Abstract Background We compared the effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on renal function in participants with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) classified by degree of albuminuria. Methods A retrospective review of the clinical records of Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes (age > 20 years; SGLT2 inhibitor treatment > 2 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) was conducted. Based on the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) or urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) at the start of SGLT2 inhibitor administration, participants were categorized into three groups: normoalbuminuria (A1; UACR < 30 mg/g Cr or UPCR < 0.15 g/g Cr), microalbuminuria (A2; UACR 30 to < 300 mg/g Cr or UPCR 0.15 to < 0.50 g/g Cr), and macroalbuminuria (A3; UACR ≥ 300 mg/g Cr or UPCR ≥ 0.50 g/g Cr). The study outcome was a comparison of the rates of change in renal function evaluated by eGFR at 2 years after starting SGLT2 inhibitor among the three groups. Results A total of 87 participants (40 females, 47 males) were categorized into three groups: A1 (n = 46), A2 (n = 25), and A3 (n = 16). eGFR was similarly decreased at 2 years before starting SGLT2 inhibitor in all three groups. However, the decline in eGFR was ameliorated at 2 years after starting SGLT2 inhibitor, and eGFR was rather increased in the A1 and A2 groups. Interestingly, the rate of change in eGFR at 2 years after starting SGLT2 inhibitor in the A1 group was significantly higher than that in the A3 group. Conclusions These results demonstrate that more favorable effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal function were observed in participants with type 2 diabetes and CKD with normoalbuminuria compared with those with macroalbuminuria.
