The purpose of this manuscript is to review the effects of sodium-glucose cotransport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in patients with chronic kidney disease according to basic mechanisms, current recommendations, and future perspectives. Based on growing evidence from randomized, controlled trials, SGLT2is have proven their benefit on cardiac and renal adverse complications, and their indications expanded into the following five categories: glycemic control, reduction in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), heart failure, diabetic kidney disease, and nondiabetic kidney disease. Although kidney disease accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis, myocardial disease, and heart failure, so far, no specific drugs were available to protect renal function. Recently, two randomized trials, the DAPA-CKD and EMPA-Kidney, demonstrated the clinical benefit of the SGLT2is dapagliflozin and empagliflozin in improving the outcome in patients with chronic kidney disease. For the consistently positive results in cardiorenal protection, the SGLT2i represents an effective treatment to reduce the progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes in patients with and without diabetes mellitus.
