SGLT-2-inhibition with dapagliflozin reduces tissue sodium content: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract Background and aims Sodium tissue content by 23Na magnetic resonance imaging (Na-MRI) has been validated in experimental and human studies. SGLT-2 inhibition blocks the reabsorption of glucose and of sodium in the proximal tubular cells in a 1:1 fashion. We hypothesized that SGLT-2 inhibiti...
