Why the study?
Hyperuricemia is elevated in type 2 diabetes and causes complications and mortality through heart and kidney diseases, prompting an investigation into the effects of empagliflozin on serum uric acid levels.
Does empagliflozin reduce serum uric acid levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Does empagliflozin reduce serum uric acid levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Empagliflozin effectively reduces serum uric acid levels and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Empagliflozin may mitigate hyperuricemia-driven cardiorenal risk in T2D; extends SGLT2i pleiotropy beyond glycemic control.
