Article Synopsis
- Hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are interconnected, with high blood pressure worsening kidney health and vice versa, creating a cycle of deteriorating health.
- Managing hypertension in CKD patients is critical as it not only helps preserve kidney function but also reduces cardiovascular risks, which are the leading causes of death in these individuals.
- New treatment options are emerging for CKD that specifically target the interactions between hypertension and kidney disease, potentially transforming how high blood pressure is managed in these patients.
Introduction: Proteinuria is a major risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) demonstrated a nephroprotective and antiproteinuric effect in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and proteinuric CKD. We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate clinical and laboratory variables that can help predict proteinuria reduction with SGLT2i therapy.
