We randomly assigned patients with type 2 diabetes and an estimated glomerular
filtration rate of at least 30 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area to
receive either empagliflozin (at a dose of 10 mg or 25 mg) or placebo once daily.
Prespecified renal outcomes included incident or worsening nephropathy (progression
to macroalbuminuria, doubling of the serum creatinine level, initiation of
renal-replacement therapy, or death from renal disease) and incident albuminuria
