How a kidney-protecting medication works in everyday Korean medical care

This study is watching how finerenone—a medication that protects the kidneys—is used in real-world medical practice in South Korea. Researchers will collect information from about 500 people with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes who are prescribed this medication by their doctors. The goal is to understand how well the medication works and how safe it is when used in everyday clinical care, rather than in a controlled research setting.

Chronic kidney disease caused by type 2 diabetes is a serious problem that damages the kidneys over time. While this medication has been approved to help protect kidneys, researchers want to gather more information about how it's actually used and how it performs in Korean patients to make sure it's as safe and effective as possible.
