Finerenone reduces albumin levels in type 1 diabetes patients

Última actualización 12 de septiembre de 2026

Key finding

Median UACR decreased from 574.6 to 373.5 mg/g with finerenone.

The study examined the effects of finerenone on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in adults with type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, showing a significant reduction in UACR compared to placebo.

Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.

Study focus

The study examined the effects of finerenone on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in adults with type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, showing a significant reduction in UACR compared to placebo.

Clinical relevance

This finding is clinically significant as it suggests that finerenone may be an effective treatment option for managing kidney disease in patients with type 1 diabetes. By reducing UACR, finerenone could help slow the progression of kidney damage, which is a common complication in diabetes. This could lead to improved long-term health outcomes for these patients.

Keep in mind

The study's findings may not be generalizable to all populations with diabetes. The long-term effects of finerenone were not assessed beyond the study duration. Potential unmeasured confounders could influence the outcomes.

Efectos Principales

Finerenone reduced UACR from 574.6 to 373.5 mg/g, a decrease of -201.1 mg/g (P = 0.0001).

Placebo group showed a smaller decrease in UACR from 506.4 to 475.6 mg/g.

HbA1c levels remained unchanged in both finerenone and placebo groups.
