@NatRevNeph published this review today, "Diuretics in patients with CKD" . Thank you to coauthors: @AshuNephro @GeorgianosP Special thanks to the reviewers: @dhekidney Ewout Hoorn, Daniel Fuster, and the anonymous reviewer(s) for their feedback.

Among nearly 19K patients across 3 high risk populations--FIDELIO-DKD, FIGARO-DKD, and FINEARTS-HF--finerenone reduced the risk of all-cause mortality by 9%. (HR 0.91; 95% CI 0.84-0.99; P = 0.027) @mvaduganathan

Heart failure survival curves start separating within days of using finerenone. Whereas heart failure benefits are seen early, kidney failure benefits in T2D take 18 months to manifest.

Matt Weir & I offer an obituary of our affable colleage George Bakris "With a diagnosis of cancer 4 years ago, pain was inevitable. But how to respond to this crisis was a choice. Dr Bakris inspired us by publishing >200 papers while battling his disease."

Pushing CTD hard to achieve a certain weight loss may not be most sensible when using this drug to acheive an antihypertensive response. We might simply get more adverse effects but not a greater BP lowering. That is the message I took from this analysis.

@RangaswJ @nkf @AJKD Thank you

If I can do it, anyone can. So many questions, so many patients in LMICS. It just needs one physician to say I can and then see the change happen.

AKI was not seen more frequently with finerenone. When eGFR plummets after starting finerenone look for other causes. It may be volume depletion, infection, or drugs such as NSAIDS.
