What is the impact of SGLT2i on Na and water hemostasis?
First, let’s revisit, how Na and glucose are handled in the nephron 📜
💥100% of the filtered glucose is reabsorbed along the nephron (90%, via SGLT2 in PCT)
💥1 Na+ ion for every glucose molecule gets absorbed from the lumen
💥In PCT 60 - 80% of sodium is reabsorbed
