Hyperkalemia in Finerenone-Treated Patients with CKD: A FIND-CKD Analysis

  • In the FIND-CKD study, finerenone raised serum [K+] independent of eGFR, UACR, and SGLT-2i use

     

  • Clinically serious hyperkalemia events were uncommon, and rates of hospitalization related to hyperkalemia were low; none were fatal

     

  • As in diabetic CKD, determinants of hyperkalemia in nondiabetic CKD are:
    • A higher baseline serum [K+] (>4.5 mmol/L)
    • A lower eGFR (<45 mL/min/1.73 m2)
    • A higher UACR (>1000 mg/g)

       

  • The same monitoring rules for serum [K+] apply to diabetic and nondiabetic CKD
