The proportion of patients with volume depletion and renal adverse events, which are commonly of concern when treating heart failure, were comparable to placebo.

AstraZeneca announces detailed results from Phase 3 DAPA-HF trial

Though perioperative dialysis corrects biochemical abnormalities and fluid overload, it results in intravascular volume depletion. It is important that this state of volume depletion is corrected as early as possible by administration of intravenous fluids to ensure adequate perfusion of the graft which in turn will determine its survival.

Patients with an additional diagnosis of acute renal failure were significantly more likely to have at least one HAPI than patients without that diagnosis, OR = 2.6 (CI: 1.7-4.2), and similarly for patients with an additional diagnosis of volume depletion, OR = 2.5 (CI: 1.5-4.1).

As a consequence, volume depletion may occur in < 1% to 4%, lowering systolic blood pressure, which may result in postural hypotension and dizziness.

Differentiating Among the SGLT-2 Inhibitors: Considering Cardiovascular and Other Safety Outcomes

These authors conducted a protocol in hypertensive and normotensive patients using an intravenous infusion of 2 liters of normal (0.9%) saline and after sodium and volume depletion that was induced by a low sodium diet (10 Meq) and furosemide administration [5].

"Intravascular volume depletion increases the concentration of serum urate, and increased serum urate beyond the saturation threshold can result in crystallization," she said.

Higher water intake linked to less hyperuricemia in gout

As in other trials of SGLT-2 inhibitors, canagliflozin significantly increased the risk of female and male genital mycotic infections (respective HR, 4.27 and 3.76) and was associated with osmotic diuresis (HR, 2.80), and volume depletion (HR, 1.44).

Then, of course, there is the issue of diuretic use: "Indeed, volume depletion, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia, and hypernatremia are complications that may occur from diuretic use."

Volume depletion due to poor oral intake, emesis, and diarrhea contribute to pre-renal AKI (Kitai et al., 2015; Luciano & Brewster, 2014).

Acute kidney injury secondary to lymphoma

But as the disease process evolves, glucose-induced osmotic diuresis leads to volume depletion and secondary renal failure, thus impeding further glucose excretion [1, 3, 5].

An Exceptional Case of Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Diagnoses included volume depletion, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (with initial concurrent metabolic and respiratory alkaloses), severe hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, mild to moderate hypocalcemia, and mild hypomagnesemia.
