Abstract
Although sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely used because of their exceptional cardiovascular and renal benefits, their side effects and corresponding management strategies have not been well characterized to date. The latest evidence suggests that class effects of SGLT2 inhibitors include volume depletion, genital fungal infections, and euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, while medication-specific side effects include urinary tract infections with dapagliflozin and potential increased risk of amputations with canagliflozin. Management strategies include close monitoring, adjusting medication dosages, and temporarily holding SGLT2 inhibitors when appropriate.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
