Finerenone shows kidney protection benefits beyond type 2 diabetes treatment
Finerenone, a drug already used for type 2 diabetes, now shows it can protect kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease who don't have diabetes. This matters because kidney disease kills someone every 20 seconds worldwide, and most patients with non-diabetic kidney disease have limited treatment options. The finding expands who can benefit from this drug and offers new hope for millions of people at risk.
