Finerenone Plus Empagliflozin: How Low Can We Go, and How Much Does Blood Pressure Matter?

Key takeaways

Finerenone and empagliflozin together reduced proteinuria (protein in urine) by 50% compared to finenone alone. This was a small study of 32 patients over 6 months. Reducing proteinuria can slow kidney disease progression, but a study this size cannot confirm long-term benefit.
