Effect of Finerenone on Chronic Kidney Disease Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Finerenone, a nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, reduced albuminuria in short-term trials involving patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes. However, its long-term effects on kidney and cardiovascular outcomes are unknown. METHODS: . All the patients were treated with renin-angiotensin system blockade that had been adjusted before randomization to the maximum dose on the manufacturer's label that did not cause unacceptable side effects. The primary composite outcome, assessed in a time-to-event analysis, was kidney failure, a sustained decrease of at least 40% in the eGFR from baseline, or death from renal causes. The key secondary composite outcome, also assessed in a time-to-event analysis, was death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 2.6 years, a primary outcome event occurred in 504 of 2833 patients (17.8%) in the finerenone group and 600 of 2841 patients (21.1%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73 to 0.93; P = 0.001). A key secondary outcome event occurred in 367 patients (13.0%) and 420 patients (14.8%) in the respective groups (hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.99; P = 0.03). Overall, the frequency of adverse events was similar in the two groups. The incidence of hyperkalemia-related discontinuation of the trial regimen was higher with finerenone than with placebo (2.3% and 0.9%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes, treatment with finerenone resulted in lower risks of CKD progression and cardiovascular events than placebo.

The introduction (page not supplied) describes CREDENCE patients as having type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease, and contrasts them with patients in earlier trials who were at low risk for kidney failure. The Patients section gives CREDENCE baseline characteristics. But the cited paper does not identify or describe the citing document’s “this trial,” so it cannot establish that those two specific patient populations differed. (LLM, conf=0.72)

The Discussion section, “Safety of olmesartan in patients treated with ACEI” (page unavailable), reports hyperkalaemia in 9.2% of the olmesartan group versus 5.3% of the placebo group. It separately says approximately 20% discontinued because of adverse events. It does not identify 9.2% as the rate of discontinuation due to hyperkalaemia or as a rate specifically among patients receiving both an ACE inhibitor and an ARB. (LLM, conf=0.85)

The Abstract reports that finerenone blocked cardiac fibrosis and macrophage invasion in mice, and the Discussion describes its cardiac antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects. The paper links these findings to mineralocorticoid receptor modulation, but treats a corresponding mechanism for renal benefit as a possibility rather than demonstrating that kidney benefits arise through those same effects.

The Discussion says canagliflozin’s benefit may be independent of glucose levels and may stem from reduced intraglomerular pressure. This addresses possible metabolic and hemodynamic mechanisms, but the paper does not compare mechanisms across drug classes or establish differing effects on diuresis, inflammation, and fibrosis.

The Discussion reports lower blood pressure during olmesartan treatment, despite no additional benefit on the composite renal outcome. Most participants were also receiving an ACE inhibitor, making this study an example of dual RAS blockade with a hemodynamic effect but no demonstrated renal-outcome benefit. The statement about other mechanisms is the citing authors’ inference, not a finding attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-16, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-16 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
