SLGT-2 medicines are mainly for those with type 2 diabetes, but also useful for CKD and AKI (and those of us that don't tolerate ACE meds like Lisinopril). It can have cardiovascular (CV) benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and decreasing creatinine levels, and slightly decreasing weight. My CV system is fine, but my nephrologist prescribed Jardiance both for kidney function and to decrease the risk of CV damage, which is a common result from kidney disease. Most common side effects are dehydration (drink more water), UTIs, and yeast infections from increased sugar in urine (clean well "down there). https://www.drugs.com/drug-class/sglt-2-inhibitors.html https://www.kidney.org/kidney-topics/sglt2-inhibitors https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452302X20300759

@loriel Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! You have seen two good responses from @howardrlewis and @kayabbott, so no need for me to add to their words...

Are you a chronic kidney disease patient? If so, what stage are you in now? Any questions for me?
