A Case Series of SGLT2i Improving Hemoglobin in Adults with Myelodysplastic Syndrome
In our case series of 4 patients with MDS started on empagliflozin, we observed an increase in hemoglobin for all 4 patients. Larger studies are needed to assess whether the increase in hemoglobin is sufficiently robust and sustained to reduce a person's need for future red blood cell transfusion or other treatments for MDS.
