Randomised clinical trials (DAPA-CKD and EMPA-KIDNEY) and real-world observational studies consistently show that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce proteinuria and slow estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in patients with glomerulonephritis, including IgA nephropathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The gene discussed is SLC5A2; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
