Finerenone is associated with pronounced uric acid reduction in hyperuricemic diabetic kidney disease: a real-world analysis
In this real-world cohort, finerenone use was associated with significant reductions in albuminuria and SUA, particularly among patients with hyperuricemia. These findings suggest a potential dual benefit in this high-risk subgroup and highlight the importance of baseline SUA in interpreting finerenone's metabolic effects. The observed SUA reduction warrants further prospective investigation.
