A large-scale meta-analysis reveals that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduce kidney disease progression, AKI, and hospitalizations in patients with CKD, independent of diabetes status or baseline albuminuria.
A large-scale prospective study from the UK Biobank reveals that a comprehensive Mediterranean lifestyle—integrating diet, physical activity, and social connectivity—significantly reduces the risk of incident chronic kidney disease by up to
A large-scale prospective study from the UK Biobank reveals that high adherence to a Mediterranean lifestyle, including diet, physical activity, and social habits, significantly reduces the risk of developing chronic kidney disease over an
A pilot study shows that combining GLP-1 analogues and SGLT2 inhibitors with lifestyle changes significantly reduces body weight and albuminuria in overweight Type 1 diabetes patients with CKD, though glycemic and blood pressure improvement
Recent data highlights that GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet real-world prescription rates remain alarmingly low despite these proven benefits across various st
The SOUL trial demonstrates that oral semaglutide significantly slows the annual decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, despite not meeting the primary composite k
A sub-analysis of the FIRE trial demonstrates that physiology-guided complete revascularization significantly reduces major adverse cardiovascular events in patients aged 75 and older, irrespective of baseline kidney function, without incre
A prespecified analysis of the FINEARTS-HF trial demonstrates that the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone consistently reduces cardiovascular death and heart failure events in patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF, regardless of baseline
Recent clinical evidence identifies Interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a critical driver of cardiovascular events. The ZEUS trial and recent LoDoCo2 analyses suggest that targeting IL-6 with ziltivekimab may significantly reduce risk for patients with
A large-scale study using UK Biobank data reveals that adhering to a Planetary Health Diet significantly lowers the risk of chronic kidney disease, emphasizing the dual benefits of plant-forward, sustainable eating for both personal health
A large-scale multi-cohort study involving nearly 190,000 participants reveals that the EAT-Lancet reference diet, measured by the Planetary Health Diet Index, reduces the risk of incident chronic kidney disease, particularly among women, a
Recent research from the UK Biobank reveals that a sustainable, plant-forward diet can lower chronic kidney disease risk by 26%, offering a dual solution for environmental and personal health.
The FIVE-STAR trial demonstrates that while finerenone significantly reduces albuminuria in patients with T2D and CKD, it does not improve arterial stiffness (CAVI). These findings suggest that its cardiorenal benefits are primarily driven
The FIVE-STAR trial reveals that finerenone’s cardiorenal benefits stem from reducing internal kidney pressure rather than improving arterial stiffness, offering a new perspective on managing type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease
Recent studies demonstrate that biomarkers of bone metabolism, particularly the OPG/TRAIL ratio, are powerful predictors of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, offering improved
The DANFLU-2 trial demonstrates that high-dose influenza vaccine provides superior protection against influenza-related hospitalizations in chronic kidney disease and reduces cardiorespiratory hospitalizations in older adults irrespective o
A 2025 Cochrane review of 24 non-randomised studies (26,127 participants) found very low‑certainty evidence comparing conservative kidney management (CKM) with dialysis in people aged ≥65 with stage 5 chronic kidney disease; survival and qu
A meta-analysis of 14 matched-control studies (n=1,058,109) finds that survivors of in-hospital AKI face higher long-term mortality, greater subsequent dialysis need, and elevated risk of CKD versus matched controls.
An individual participant-level meta-analysis of 23,340 participants shows empagliflozin reduces acute and chronic kidney events, slows eGFR decline, and lowers kidney failure risk regardless of predicted acute eGFR dip, diabetes, heart fai
The MIRO‑CKD phase 2b trial found that adding the non‑steroidal MRA balcinrenone to dapagliflozin reduced albuminuria versus dapagliflozin alone in people with CKD, with dose‑dependent effects and modest hyperkalaemia rates over 12 weeks.
