Finerenone nei soggetti con malattia renale cronica senza diabete.

BACKGROUND: In randomized trials, finerenone, a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, improved kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether finerenone has similar effects in patients without diabetes who have CKD is unknown. METHODS: We randomly assigned adults without diabetes who had CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], 25 to <90 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, 200 to ≤3500, with albumin in milligrams and creatinine in grams) and were using a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor to receive finerenone (10 or 20 mg daily) or placebo.
