The Impact of Obesity on Cardiovascular and Kidney Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Finerenone: Post hoc analysis of the FIDELITY Study
Diabetes Obes Metab. 2023 doi Epub ahead of print : 10.1111/dom.15197
Patients with obesity may benefit more from treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists given their higher levels of circulating aldosterone and therefore potentially higher levels of MRs in visceral fat. The aim of this analysis was to assess the effect of finerenone on the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, with and without obesity.

Outcomes with Finerenone in Participants with Stage 4 CKD and Type 2 Diabetes: A FIDELITY Subgroup Analysis
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000149
Patients with stage 4 CKD and T2D have limited treatment options to reduce their persistent CV and kidney risk. This post hoc analysis of the FIDELITY database evaluated the effect of finerenone vs placebo in 890 patients with stage 4 CKD and T2D.
