Reduction in the magnitude of serum potassium elevation in combination therapy with esaxerenone (CS-3150) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor in patients with diabetic kidney disease: Subanalysis of two phase III studies.

In Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria treated with esaxerenone, concomitant use of SGLT2 inhibitor reduced the magnitude of serum potassium elevation without any change of its antihypertensive and albuminuria-suppressing effects. Co-administration of esaxerenone and SGLT2 inhibitor might be a beneficial treatment option for patients with diabetic kidney disease.
