Although participants without diabetes also experienced a slower rate of kidney function decline with dapagliflozin, the effect of dapagliflozin was greater in those with diabetes.The key conclusion is that dapagliflozin is an effective treatment to slow progressive kidney function loss in patients with CKD with and without type 2 diabetes.
Therefore, in addition to reducing the risk of heart failure or mortality, as previously shown, dapagliflozin also slows the progression of kidney function decline.
Eat Healthy to Keep Kidney Disease at Bay
Eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains, nuts, fish, and low-fat dairy products can prevent chronic kidney disease (CKD), reveals a new study.

Kidney Damage in Diabetes Linked to Autophagy
A new pathway which reduces autophagy in diabetic patients have been discovered. Reduction in autophagy dramatically reduces the kidney’s ability to clean itself and results in diabetic kidney disease.

Drug-Induced Kidney Disease | Nephrotoxicity
Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is caused by nephrotoxic drugs or toxins which damage kidneys and can lead to nephritis or renal toxicity. The causative drug must be identified and its use must be avoided which can otherwise lead to high levels of toxins and severe damage to kidneys.
