Effect of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors on aldosterone-to-renin ratio in diabetic patients with hypertension: a retrospective observational study

Abstract Background Plasma aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) is popularly used for screening primary aldosteronism (PA). Some medications, including diuretics, are known to have an effect on ARR and cause false-negative and false-positive results in PA screening. Currently, there are no studies on th...

description Abstract Background Plasma aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) is popularly used for screening primary aldosteronism (PA). Some medications, including diuretics, are known to have an effect on ARR and cause false-negative and false-positive results in PA screening. Currently, there are no studies on the effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which are known to have diuretic effects, on ARR. We aimed to investigate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on ARR. Methods We employed a retrospective design; the study was conducted from April 2016 to December 2018 and carried out in three hospitals. Forty patients with diabetes and hypertension were administered SGLT2 inhibitors. ARR was evaluated before 2 to 6 months after the administration of SGLT2 inhibitors to determine their effects on ARR. Results No significant changes in the levels of ARR (90.9 ± 51.6 vs. 81.4 ± 62.9) were found. Body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c were significantly decreased by SGLT2 inhibitors. Serum creatinine was significantly increased. Conclusion SGLT2 inhibitor administration yielded minimal effects on ARR and did not increase false-negative results in PA screening in patients with diabetes and hypertension more than 2 months after administration.
