Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and associated with reduced quality of
life and increased risks of kidney failure (which is fatal without costly kidney
replacement therapy), cardiovascular disease and mortality.Randomized trials of SGLT2i have consistently shown that this class of
treatment reduces the risk of progression of kidney disease (measured with
dichotomous outcomes) in patients with CKD with or without diabetes, irrespective of
underlying primary kidney disease.
