We investigated the potential association between ketonuria during treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and its renoprotective effect in patients with type 2 diabetes. We included 192 patients who had received SGLT2 inhibitors for more than 6 months. After propensity score matching, 52 patients each were allocated into groups with or without ketonuria, respectively. The estimated glomerular filtration rate exhibited a significant improvement only in subjects with ketonuria (without ketonuria: mean difference, –0.02 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% confidence interval (CI), –3.87 to 3.83 mL/min/1.73 m2] vs. with ketonuria: mean difference, 6.81 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% CI, 3.16 to 10.46 mL/min/1.73 m2]; P<0.001). Improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate at 6 months was associated with female sex and lower baseline body weight, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels in patients with ketonuria. In conclusion, the presence of ketonuria was associated with the renoprotective effect of SGLT2 inhibitors, and female sex and the absence of metabolic syndrome components may serve as additional indicators of these medications’ substantial renoprotective effects in individuals with ketonuria.
