Incident Kidney Failure

Use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with improved kidney health among a diverse multiethnic cohort of Asian adults with type 2 diabetes, researchers found in a retrospective cohort study.

Age may work as a protective factor against incident kidney failure with replacement therapy but not against death, according to results from a national cohort study of U.S. veterans.

Black veterans with new-onset chronic kidney disease had a 2.5-fold higher cumulative incidence of kidney failure compared with white veterans, according to a published study.
