SGLT2is reduce serious hyperkalaemia risk in T2D, CKD patients
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) consistently reduced the risk of serious hyperkalaemia (serum potassium [K+] ≥6.0 mmol/L) without increasing the risk of hypokalaemia (serum K+ ≤3.5 mmol/L) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high cardiovascular (CV) risk, or in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a meta-analysis has shown.
