Highlight

• In an individual participant-level meta-analysis of 23,340 participants from four large randomized trials (EMPA-REG OUTCOME, EMPEROR-Reduced, EMPEROR-Preserved, EMPA-KIDNEY), empagliflozin reduced acute kidney injury markers and adverse events, slowed chronic eGFR decline, and lowered progression to kidney failure.
