Targeted early detection measures and timely treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are extremely important to halt progression and manage complications.

The SGLT-2 inhibitors originally developed for the treatment of diabetes are not only cardioprotective, but also counteract the progression of renal function loss.
