💥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?
💥FIDELIO-DKD Trial Conclusions

⚡️Excited to share our work:

“Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 Viral RNA Shedding and IgG Antibody Response to SARS-CoV-2 in Patients on Hemodialysis” published in @CJASN Summary👇🏽

⚡️Background

❓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?

2/
💥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

💥New meta-analysis reports CV, Kidney & Mortality outcomes with SGLT2i use with & without Metformin
👉🏽 dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/do…

⚡️Before reviewing the meta-analysis check out this Tweetorial on Should Metformin be the 1st line therapy in T2DM patients?👇🏽
1/
⚡️In the meta-analysis, 6 SGLT2i vs Placebo RCTs were included:

-4 trials were CV outcome trials (EMPA-REG, CANVAS, DECLARE-TIMI, VERTIS-CV)

-1 trial was a Kidney outcome trial
(CREDENCE)

-1 trial was a Heart Failure trial
(DAPA-HF)
2/
💥Total number of participants from the 6 RCTs were 51,743

💥Baseline Metformin use varied across the trials as shown below:

⚡️21% in DAPA-HF
⚡️58% in CREDENCE
⚡️74%-82% in EMPA-REG, CANVAS,
DECLARE-TIMI, VERTIS-CV

❇️ Question 1
⚡️Prolonged use of Metformin (use for > than 4 years) can cause deficiency of this vitamin?

2/
❇️ Metformin interferes with the intestinal absorption of Vitamin B12

⚡️In NHANES Study, Vitamin B12 deficiency was noted in 5.8% patients with T2DM on metformin

⚡️Vitamin B12 monitoring should be considered in pts. on prolonged metformin Rx (> 4 yrs)

💥Before reviewing the guidelines, note the difference between the:

⚡️Recommendations
⚡️Practice Points

💥Recommendations are based on strong evidence whereas for the Practice Points the evidence is insufficient or inconclusive👇🏽

CV disease & Kidney Disease progression👇🏽

✅ Glycemic Control
✅ BP Control
✅ Lipid Rx
✅ Nutrition
✅ Exercise
✅ Smoking Cessation
