💥How does Finerenone work?
(These Slides are from the ASN Kidney Week: High Impact Clinical Trial Session)
💥Trial eligibility criteria👇🏽
💥Study Design👇🏽
💥Baseline Demographics & Medications👇🏽
💥Baseline eGFR and UACR
💥Change in UACR: 31% reduction with Finerenone at 4 months versus placebo
💥BP and HbA1c changes in the Finerenone and placebo groups
‼️18% reduction in the Primary Kidney Composite Endpoint in the
Finerenone group versus the Placebo group (p = 0.0014)
💥Numbers Needed to Treat (NNT)
for Primary and Secondary endpoints over 3 years
💥Adverse Events and Change in Serum Potassium over time
💥Adverse events related to Hyperkalemia such as permanent drug discontinuation, hospitalization and death
💥Adverse events related to Acute Kidney Injury
💥Safety Summary of Finerenone
💥How drug discontinuation due to Hyperkalemia in FIDELIO-DKD Trial compare to the ALTITUDE & VA-NEPHRON-D Trials where dual RAS Blockade was used in DKD populations?
💥How did drug discontinuation due to Hyperkalemia in FIDELIO-DKD Trial compare to the AMBER Trial where Patiromer was used with Spironolactone + ACEi/ARB in CKD population?
❓Are patients on maintenance hemodialysis able to develop IgG antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus after COVID-19 infection?
❓What is the duration of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA shedding among HD patients following the diagnosis of COVID-19?

💥Case Series of patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) at a single HD unit in NYC
⚡️Patients were tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA (RT-PCR) if they had signs or symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, or the testing was performed as part of routine surveillance
