potassium and key measures of kidney function
-urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio UACR and
eGFR over time after initiation of finerenone.
• Describe the occurrence of hyperkalemia hospitalization and dialysis due to hyperkalemia after initiating finerenone.

Brief Summary   Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated kidney failure. It has been estimated that globally about 20% and 40% of individuals with diabetes are diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy. More than 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) had CKD in India. Patients with T2D and CKD are at a high risk of mortality. Based on the benefits noted in preclinical and clinical trials, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) recommend the usage of nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (nsMRA) for patients with T2D, normal serum potassium levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25 mL/min/1.73 m2 , and albumin-to creatinine ratio (ACR) 30 mg/g. Finerenone is a nsMRA that has been approved for the management of CKD among patients with T2D. The nsMRA has shown lower risk of hyperkalemia compared with traditional mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) like spironolactone. The benefits of finerenone in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events among patients with CKD and T2D have been established in various trials. As all safety and efficacy information currently available stems from controlled clinical trials that did not include Indian patients, we lack real-world data and experiences from routine clinical practice in India. Therefore, it is crucial to gather and evaluate data on the usage of finerenone shortly after its marketing approval, in patients prescribed this medication as part of their routine clinical care in India. Furthermore, it is essential to delineate patient characteristics and the patterns of drug utilization among these individuals to support the potential application of finerenone in clinical practice. The planned observational study is designed to obtain insights about the real-world treatment practice with finerenone in the clinical management of patients with CKD and T2D, across different patient care settings in India.
