Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Use in Chronic Kidney Disease with Type 2 Diabetes: A Clinical Practice Document by the European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) Board of the European Renal Association (ERA)

Clin Kidney J. 2023;16:1885–1907

Patients with CKD and T2D are at high risk of both developing kidney failure and of CV events. With RAS blockers, residual risk of CKD progression remains high and no significant reduction in CV events and mortality has been seen in major studies in patients with CKD and T2D. Steroidal MRAs have been shown to reduce albuminuria in individuals on RAS monotherapy, but widespread clinical use is limited by the risk of hyperkalaemia and the absence of trials with hard renal outcomes. In recent years, non-steroidal MRAs have received increasing interest due to their better pharmacological profile, particularly finerenone, which effectively reduced CKD progression and CV outcomes in participants with T2D in Phase 3 trials.
