Dapagliflozin and other SGLT2 inhibitors are known to increase hematocrit. One possible mechanism is glycosuria and polyuria and the loss of fluid from the vascular compartment. However, since type 2 diabetes is a pro-inflammatory state and since hepcidin, a known suppressor of erythropoiesis, is increased in pro-inflammatory states, we investigated the possibility that dapagliflozin suppresses hepcidin concentrations and thus increases erythropoiesis. Twenty-two patients with type 2 diabetes and normal renal function (mean age: 62.1±1.7 years) were randomly treated with placebo or dapagliflozin 10 mg daily for 12 weeks. In the dapagliflozin group, there was a fall in HbA1c from 7.1±0.2% to 6.7±0.2% (p Disclosure H. Ghanim: None. J.M. Hejna: None. S. Abuaysheh: None. T. Shah: None. J. Kumar: None. M.
