Abstract
Despite current treatments, which include renin angiotensin system blockers and SGLT2 inhibitors, the risk of progression of kidney disease among patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unacceptably high. The pathogenesis of CKD in patients with diabetes is complex and includes hemodynamic and metabolic factors, as well as inflammation and fibrosis. Finerenone is a highly selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist that, in contrast to current therapies, may directly reduce inflammation and fibrosis, thus adding value in the management of these patients. In fact, finerenone decreases albuminuria and slows CKD progression in persons with diabetes. We now review the mechanisms of action of finerenone, the results of recent clinical trials, and the integration of the kidney and cardiovascular protection afforded by finerenone in the routine care of patients with diabetes and CKD.
