Change in urine albumin-creatinine ratio and occurrence of hyperkalemia in patients initiating finerenone in the United States: a cohort study from the FOUNTAIN platform. Nephron. 2025 Feb 27;1-26. doi: 10.1159/000543923


INTROUDCTION. In 2021, finerenone – a novel, selective non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist – was approved in the US to treat adults with CKD and T2D This study aimed to describe characteristics and short-term outcomes of patients prescribed finerenone since regulatory approval.

Reduction in Urinary Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) in people with CKD and type 2 diabetes initiating finerenone: a CKD stage subgroup analysis from the FOUNTAIN platform. Poster presented at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2024; October 25, 2024. San Diego, CA. [abstract] J Am Soc Nephrol. 2024 Oct; 35(Suppl v1):559.


BACKGROUND: Evidence from clinical trials demonstrates that finerenone reduces UACR and the risk of adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes among people with CKD and T2D. Here we aim to describe the change in UACR across subgroups of users of other medications in people initiating finerenone in clinical practice in the United States.

INTRODUCTION: Daily insulin administration can be burdensome for people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) and can impact treatment adherence. This study investigated preferences for once-weekly, long-acting basal insulin for treatment of PwT2D.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evidence from clinical trials demonstrates that finerenone reduces the risk of cardiovascular and renal complications among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). What is lacking is the evidence on finerenone use in real-world clinical practice.
