Jardiance for stage 3a CKD or Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

This discussion is getting confusing. I keep scrolling back to the title which is about Jardiance, CKD and AKI. I know Jardiance as a diabetes medication, but this is the Kidney & Bladder group. Granted, diabetes is one of the common causes of kidney problems so I get that. But aren’t CKD and AKI quite different (related but different)? Then we morphed to talking about cranberry juice (myself included), then sugar substitutes, then ibuprofen, then gout …..and so where are we now? I think @tntwo99 came close to the original post with “Jardiance and Farxiga are great for both T2 diabetes and kidney disease” based on some research having been done. This discussion is worth at least 6 or 7 topics and is really interesting!

As the author, I was interested in unusual or irksome side effects from Jardiance.
I don't have diabetes, but following norovirus on 12/23, I have stage 3a CKD and/or AKI. The nephrologist prescribed it not for glucose but the side effect of decreasing my creatinine to protect my heart (which is currently in good shape). I have no symptoms from CKD or AKI yet. After 7 days at 10 mg/day I have no apparent side effects from Jardiance, including that I don't pee more than I normally do. I'm a retired research scientist, so if people are interested in SLGP2 meds, I could post some links. Regarding @tntwo99 's comment on diuretic effects, pelvic PT that includes Kegel exercises help to decrease urinary incontinence.
