Background

Canagliflozin (CANA) reduces the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and kidney failure in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inherent in its mechanism of action is enhanced natriuresis and osmotic diuresis. It is unclear if the efficacy or safety of CANA is modified by concomitant diuretic use.

Methods

CREDENCE randomized participants with T2DM and CKD to CANA or matching placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of end-stage kidney disease, doubling of serum creatinine, CV or renal death. We estimated effects on key efficacy and safety outcomes by baseline use of loop diuretics.

Results

Of 4401 CREDENCE participants, 955 (21.7%) received loop diuretics at baseline. These participants were older (mean age 63.5 vs 62.7 y; P=0.01), with a longer diabetes duration (17.0 vs 15.5 y), lower eGFR (49.7 vs 58.0 mL/min/1.73m2), and were more like to have a history of heart failure (27.6 vs 11.3%; all P<0.0001). Unadjusted event rates were higher in those using loop diuretics (Figure). Effects of CANA on the primary outcome and other CV and renal outcomes were consistent irrespective of loop diuretic use. The risk of renal-related adverse events, acute kidney injury, and volume depletion was not elevated by loop diuretic use (data not shown; all Pinteraction>0.05).

Conclusion

CANA reduces the risk of CV and renal outcomes in people with T2DM and CKD irrespective of baseline use of loop diuretics, without additional adverse effects.
