Abstract

Dapagliflozin is a recently developed oral anti-diabetic drug and SGLT2 inhibitor with well-known cardioprotective and renoprotective effects. Although a reduction of the glomerular filtration rate is induced by volume depletion and tubule-glomerular feedback during the early period after administering a SGLT2 inhibitor, the renal prognosis improves more with a decrease of proteinuria. However, the risk of acute kidney injury increases in heart failure and hypovolemia patients, and in those taking certain drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blockers, or diuretics. We report acute kidney injury after dapagliflozin administration in a diabetic patient with acute cerebral infarction accompanied by right hemiplegia, motor aphasia, and dysphagia.
