Abstract
Integrating sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) into the treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD) has marked a significant therapeutic advance in nephrology. Clinical trials such as DAPA-CKD and EMPA-KIDNEY have demonstrated the beneficial effects of SGLT2i in slowing CKD progression and reducing proteinuria. However, the applicability of these results to patients with glomerulonephritis is still unresolved due to various limitations. This manuscript combines the evidence supporting the use of SGLT2i in glomerular diseases, highlights the limitations and strikes a conclusive balance on their role in clinical practice.

About the Journal
Clinical Kidney Journal: Clinical and Translational Nephrology (ckj), an official journal of the ERA-EDTA (European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association), is a fully open access, online only journal publishing bimonthly. The journal is an essential educational and training resource integrating clinical, translational and educational research into clinical practice. ckj aims to contribute to a translational research culture among nephrologists and kidney pathologists that helps close the gap between basic researchers and practicing clinicians and promote sorely needed innovation in the Nephrology field. All research articles in this journal have undergone peer review.
