Abstract
Finerenone is a novel nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that became available on the PBS in July 2023 for selected patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. It is indicated as an addition to standard care to delay progressive decline of kidney function and reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
