Empagliflozin sometimes causes a transient decline in kidney function, and on rare occasions causes acute kidney injury, so use should be monitored in those with kidney dysfunction. But some trials have indicated that empagliflozin can be used in people with an eGFR as low as 20 mL/min/1.73 m², without increasing adverse kidney outcomes. [17] [18]
In a statement on Friday, the two partners said Jardiance cut the risk of kidney disease progression and cardiovascular death by 28%, citing results from a late-stage trial which included people ...

SGLT2 is mainly expressed in the kidneys on the epithelial cells lining the first segment of the proximal convoluted tubule. By inhibiting SGLT2, gliflozins prevent the kidneys' reuptake of glucose from the glomerular filtrate and subsequently lower the glucose level in the blood and promote the excretion of glucose in the urine .
