Dapagliflozin is a highly selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor associated with stabilization of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure, body weight, and albuminuria; and a small and consistent increase in hematocrit [1], [2], [3], [4]. This data set is based on the associated article [5] analyzing data from 5325 patients with type 2 diabetes from 14 placebo-controlled, phase 3 (one phase 2/3), double-blind dapagliflozin treatment studies of 24-104 weeks' duration. Data on dapagliflozin's effects (vs.

Aims: Anemia is common in type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly in patients with kidney impairment, and often goes unrecognized. Dapagliflozin treatment increases hemoglobin and serum erythropoietin levels. We investigated the effect of dapagliflozin 10-mg/day on hemoglobin in T2D patients with and without anemia.

Aims: Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) are the most effective treatments for diabetic kidney disease but significant residual renal risk remains, possibly because of other mechanisms of kidney disease progression unrelated to RAS that may be present. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors reduce albuminuria and may complement RASi by offering additional renal protection. This post hoc analysis investigated the effects of dapagliflozin on cardio-renal risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with increased albuminuria treated with or without RASi at baseline.

Materials And Methods: The Strauss formula was used to calculate changes in ePV. Change in plasma volume measured with I-human serum albumin (mPV) was compared with change in ePV in 10 patients with type 2 diabetes randomized to dapagliflozin 10 mg/d or placebo.
