Researchers examined 44 prediabetic/T2D patients and found that empagliflozin reduced fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, ferritin, CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and uric acid levels. Total iron-binding capacity increased. A positive correlation existed between ferritin and IL-6, and ferritin and uric acid. Empagliflozin impacts inflammation and iron metabolism, with reduced ferritin potentially resulting from decreased inflammation.
