PG - 3501-3506 LID - 10.2169/internalmedicine.1369-22 [doi] AB - Sacubitril/valsartan, a novel therapy in chronic heart failure (CHF), inhibits the breakdown of various peptides. However, whether or not sacubitril/valsartan administration affects urinary C-peptide levels is unclear. We herein report a 70-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension coexisting with CHF and nephrotic syndrome. The patient's urinary C-peptide levels dramatically increased after sacubitril/valsartan administration and decreased after discontinuation of the drug. Furthermore, sacubitril/valsartan administration to five other patients with hypertension and T2DM markedly increased urinary C-peptide levels. Thus, the insulin secretory capacity of patients with T2DM receiving sacubitril/valsartan may be overestimated when their urinary C-peptide level is measured.
