Letter to the Editor: Finerenone and proteinuria in diabetic kidney disease.

Article B Peer reviewed Small trial

Key takeaways

A study of 100 patients with diabetic kidney disease found that combining finerenone with an SGLT2 inhibitor reduced proteinuria (protein in urine) more than using two different types of SGLT2 inhibitors. The study was small: 100 patients, and lasted 6 months.
