Sodium-glucose Linked Transporter 2 (SGLT-2) Inhibitors in Recurrent Ascites: a Pilot RCT
The development of ascites is a landmark event in the natural history of cirrhosis and signifies a grim prognosis. Portal hypertension and splanchnic arterial vasodilatation are the major contributors in the development of ascites. Vasodilatation with the consequential decrease in effective circulating volume leads to the activation of sympathetic nervous system and renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), leading to antinatriuretic effects and retention of sodium and water. This results in the formation of ascites. Management of ascites primarily consists of salt restrictrion and diuretics. Liver transplant is the ultimate panacea.
Dapaglifozin, a Sodium glucose linked transporter-2(SGLT-2) inhibitor, is a part of the routine armamentarium for treatment of patients with Diabetes Mellitus type-2. Its safety is well established in non-diabetic patients too where it has been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes. The risk of hypoglycemia is negligible as its action is independent of insulin. By virtue of its natriuretic effect, it has been shown to reduce hospitalisations in patients with heart failure irrespective of the presence of diabetes. We hypothesise that a similar natriuretic effect may help in suppressing the renin-angiotensin axis with improved mobilization of ascites in patients with cirrhosis. Pharmacokinetic data on the use of Dapaglifozin suggest that there is no need for dose modification in cirrhosis. The AUC and Cmax for Dapaglifozin in Child Pugh C cirrhosis is 67% and 40%, respectively. In a recent small case series, SGLT-2 inhibitors including dapaglifozin led to improvement in fluid retention and serum sodium, without acute kidney injury or encephalopathy, in patients with cirrhosis. However, SGLT-2 inhibitors have not been evaluated in randomized controlled trials. In this pilot study, we plan to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dapaglifozin in cirrhotics patients with recurrent ascites.
