Association of finerenone plus tripterygium glycosides with proteinuria reduction in patients with diabetic kidney disease: a retrospective cohort study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 203 people with diabetic kidney disease. It compared a drug called finerenone alone with finerenone plus a second drug. The group taking both drugs had less protein in their urine. This shows a link, but it is not proof that the second drug caused the change.
