New pharmacologic advances in the treatment of diabetes include SGLT-2 inhibitors, which have been demonstrated in randomized-controlled clinical trials to reduce overall and cardiac-specific mortality and slow progression of chronic kidney disease. Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Here we describe a case of severe euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis after lower extremity bypass in a patient taking an SGLT-2 inhibitor. Awareness of this potential complication is essential as these novel agents are increasingly used in patients with cardiovascular disease.
糖尿病治疗方面的新药理学进展包括钠-葡萄糖协同转运蛋白2(SGLT-2)抑制剂,随机对照临床试验已证明其可降低总体死亡率和心脏特异性死亡率,并减缓慢性肾脏病的进展。正常血糖性糖尿病酮症酸中毒是一种与使用SGLT-2抑制剂相关的罕见但危及生命的并发症。在此,我们描述了1例服用SGLT-2抑制剂的患者在下肢搭桥术后发生严重正常血糖性糖尿病酮症酸中毒的病例。鉴于这些新型药物越来越多地用于心血管疾病患者,认识到这一潜在并发症至关重要。
