Excess glucose excretion and diuresis with sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors may cause dehydration during Ramadan. * Clinical and biochemical markers of dehydration existed with sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors during Ramadan. * SGLT2 inhibitors induced elevation of urine specific gravity, plasma osmolality, and blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio.
Conclusions: Significant clinical and biochemical markers of dehydration were noticed among users of SGLT2i during the Holy Ramadan.
