An acute fall in estimated glomerular filtration rate during treatment with losartan predicts a slower decrease in long-term renal function

TLDR
The greater the acute fall in glomerular filtration rate, during losartan treatment, the slower the rate of long-term eGFR decline, and interpretation of trial results relying on slope-based GFR outcomes should separate the initial drug-induced GFR change from the subsequent long- term effect on GFR.

Empagliflozin and Progression of Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk, empagliflozin was associated with slower progression of kidney disease and lower rates of clinically relevant renal events than was placebo when added to standard care.

Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in the Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus: Cardiovascular and Kidney Effects, Potential Mechanisms, and Clinical Applications

TL;DR: Some diabetes clinical practice guidelines now recommend that SGLT2 inhibitors with proven cardiovascular benefit be prioritized in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have not achieved glycemic targets and who have prevalent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.

Renoprotective Effect of the Angiotensin-Receptor Antagonist Irbesartan in Patients with Nephropathy Due to Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: The angiotensin-II-receptor blocker irbesartan is effective in protecting against the progression of nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes, independent of the reduction in blood pressure it causes.

The effect of irbesartan on the development of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Irbesartan is renoprotective independently of its blood-pressure-lowering effect in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria, and serious adverse events were less frequent among the patients treated with the drug.

Effect of irbesartan on the development of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the renoprotective effect of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, irbesartan, in hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.
