ABSTRACT
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), controlling serum uric acid (SUA) and blood glucose levels is important. Moreover, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors decrease SUA levels by accelerating urinary uric acid excretion. We investigated the effect of baseline urinary glucose levels on the relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and SUA levels. We conducted a retrospective observational study using the electronic medical records of patients with T2DM of Kindai University Nara Hospital (April 2013 to March 2022). We divided the patients into two groups according to their baseline urinary glucose levels the N-UG group, which included patients with negative urinary glucose strip test results (-), and the P-UG group, which included patients with positive urinary glucose strip test results (± or more). The changes in SUA levels before and after SGLT2 inhibitor administration were investigated. For comparison, the changes in SUA levels before and after the prescription of antidiabetic agents, excluding SGLT2 inhibitors, were also investigated. Our results revealed that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly decreased the SUA levels in patients in the N-UG group but tended to decrease its levels in those in the P-UG group. Regardless of the urinary glucose status at baseline, the administration of SGLT2 inhibitors may be useful for patients with T2DM to prevent the complications of hyperuricemia.
