Empagliflozin increased hemoglobin concentrations and hematocrit with a delayed time kinetic which was most likely attributable to increased erythropoiesis with augmented iron utilization and not hemoconcentration. This might be attributable to reduced tubular glucose reabsorption in response to SGLT2 inhibition possibly resulting in diminished cellular stress as a mechanism for increased renal erythropoietin secretion (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
