Objective: To describe the pharmacology, clinical and safety evidence, and relevance to clinical practice of finerenone. Data Sources: A literature search was conducted utilizing PubMed, MEDLINE, and clinicaltrials.gov with search terms of “finerenone” and “BAY94-8862.” Study Selection and Data Extraction All available studies with human participants in English were considered. Studies were included if they investigated drug pharmacology, efficacy, and safety information. Data Synthesis In addition to standard of care with a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi), finerenone lowered the risk of kidney disease progression (17.8% vs 21.1%) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease compared to placebo. Similarly, finerenone reduced cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease compared to placebo (12.4% vs 14.2%). Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice It is anticipated that finerenone will be added to therapy after a RASi and a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, as tolerated, based on adverse events and potassium levels. Conclusions Finerenone offers a unique approach to further delay the progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It also provides another option for patients who cannot tolerate RASi or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.

The article presents the literature review of the possibilities of modern antidiabetic therapy in the prevention of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanisms of development and features of kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus are described. The results of most recent clinical trials for studying the possibility of nephroprotection with new groups of hypoglycemic agents are reviewed: dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhi-bitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. The advantages of usage and the nephroprotective effects of agonists of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors and sodium-glucose loop cotransporter-2 inhibitors are determined. Particular attention is paid to the nephroprotective effect of sodium-glucose loop co-transporter inhibitors as the only class of drugs that have demonstrated a reduction in the rate of decrease in glomerular filtration rate in patients with diabetes. The expediency of further study of the efficacy of the combined use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and agonists of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors in diabetic chronic kidney disease is indicated. For a long time, approaches to the treatment of diabetic kidney disease did not differ for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The stu­dies of recent years have shown that new hypoglycemic drugs can not only lower blood glucose levels but also have a beneficial effect on renal function. The mechanisms of nephroprotective effects have not been fully studied, but it is clear that they are beyond the scope of improved glycemic control. The possibility of the nephroprotective effect of these drugs on a glomerular filtration rate in the range of 30–15 ml/min/1.73 m2 and below remains unexplored. The effect of the combined use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors is also unclear: will this combination predominate over monotherapy, and, if so, to what extent?

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the burden of complications are increasing worldwide. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one serious complication. Our aim was to investigate the trends and inequalities of the burden of CKD due to T2DM between 1990 and 2019. Data were obtained from the Global Health Data Exchange database. Age-standardized incidence, mortality, and DALYs rates of CKD were used to estimate the disease burden across the Human Development Index (HDI). Joinpoint regression was performed to assess changes in trend, and the Gini coefficient was used to assess health inequality. A higher incidence was observed in more developed countries (p < 0.001), while higher mortality and DALYs rates were experienced in low and middle HDI countries in 2019 (p < 0.001). The trend of incidence has increased since 1990 (AAPC: 0.9–1.5%), while slight decrease was observed in low HDI countries in mortality (APC: −0.1%) and DALYs (APC: −0.2%). The Gini coefficients of CKD incidence decreased from 0.25 in 2006 to 0.23 in 2019. The socioeconomic development was associated with disease burden. Our findings indicate that awareness of complications should be improved in countries with high incidence, and cost-effective preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic tools are necessary to implement in less developed regions.

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the association between resilience and sociodemographic variables and the health of people with chronic kidney disease and / or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: a cross-sectional observational study performed with 603 people with chronic kidney disease and / or type 2 diabetes mellitus. A tool to collect socio-demographic and health data and the Resilience Scale developed by Connor and Davidson were applied. A descriptive and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: the study participants had on average 61 years old (SD= 13.2), with a stable union (52.24%), religion (96.7%), retired (49.09%), with primary education (65%) and income up to three minimum wages. Participants with kidney disease showed less resilience than people with diabetes. Conclusion: the type of chronic illness, disease duration, body mass index and religious beliefs influenced the resilience of the study participants.
