Sodium-glucose cotranspor ter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in nephrolithiasis: should we “gliflozin” patients with kidney stone disease?

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of nephrolithiasis is increasing worldwide. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of lithiasis, few studies have demonstrated that specific clinical interventions reduce the recurrence of nephrolithiasis. The aim of this review is to analyze the current data and potential effects of iSGLT2 in lithogenesis and try to answer the question: Should we also “gliflozin” our patients with kidney stone disease?
