"Jardiance is not recommended for the treatment of chronic kidney disease in patients with polycystic kidney disease or patients requiring or with a recent history of intravenous immunosuppressive therapy or greater than 45 mg of prednisone or equivalent for kidney disease." But it is FDA approved for chronic kidney disease otherwise. I haven't taken the medication and hope you get better responses than mine.

@gently thank you. I've been researching it and it appears it is approved for CKD in my situation. Now I'm trying to work my way through my Medicare part d coverage and see if it's going to cost an arm and a leg or if I can get away for a few fingers.
