Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors: renal outcomes according to baseline albuminuria.

ABSTRACT: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) reduce albuminuria and hard renal outcomes (decline of renal function, renal replacement therapy and renal death) in patients with/without type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular or renal risk. The question arises whether baseline albuminuria also influences renal outcomes with SGLT2is as reported with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. Post hoc analyses focusing on albuminuria and renal outcomes of four cardiovascular outcome trials [EMPA-REG OUTCOME (Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients), CANVAS (Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study), DECLARE-TIMI 58 (Multicenter Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Dapagliflozin on the Incidence of Cardiovascular Events-Thromboly
