Therefore, studying a wide range of patients with CKD has particular importance for public health. The results of a prespecified subgroup analysis from a trial of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in patients with CKD and a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio of at least 200 showed that benefits with respect to kidney failure extended to patients without diabetes, but there were limited data regarding patients with an estimated GFR (eGFR) of less than 30 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area and how these benefits might vary among the wider population of patients with CKD
