PG - 227-234 LID - 10.1159/000538347 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The mineralocorticoid receptor plays an important pathophysiological role in cardiorenal diseases by causing inflammation and fibrosis. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are well known in treating cardiovascular disease and diverse nephropathies. However, the first-generation MRA (spironolactone) and the second-generation MRA (eplerenone) remain underutilized because of the risk of inducing severe adverse events. As a selective nonsteroidal MRA, finerenone is safer and more effective and improves cardiorenal outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the effect of finerenone on cardiorenal outcomes in patients of different races and kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is unclear. SUMMARY: In this review, we summarized the impact of finerenone on patients with CKD and T2DM from randomized controlled trials. The synthesis of published data aims to address the questions pertaining to the cardiorenal benefits of finerenone among various racial groups and different levels of kidney function. KEY MESSAGE: Finerenone presents racial differences and effects associated with kidney function in CKD and T2DM patients. Due to the limited data for subgroups, it is prudent to approach the conclusion with caution. CI - (c) 2024 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel.
