We present a 50-year-old woman who had a past medical history of breast reconstruction with the implant 20 years ago.

A novel observation has emerged in recent years that SGLT2 inhibitors induce erythrocyte proliferation, a phenomenon that warrants consideration in the differential diagnosis of erythrocytosis. The prevailing hypothesis explaining the mechanism of erythrocytosis has been the decrease in fluid volume and increase in concentration of the blood which is attributable to the diuretic effect of SGLT2 inhibitors. However, a novel mechanism involving increased production of erythropoietin has also been postulated.
