14、d-ney disease(CKD),with evidence from several large ran-domised clinical trials and collaborative meta-analyses indicating that this medication class reduces progression of kidney disease and kidney failure in a broad range of people with CKD irrespective of diabetes(DM)status,level of kidney functi
15、on,or primary kidney diagnosis 14.Furthermore,SGLT-2 inhibition has been shown to improve outcomes in people with diabetes with high car-diovascular risk,and in people with heart failure across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction 46.In addition to well-established efficacy,SGLT-2 inhi
16、bi-tion has been shown to be safe,with few associated risks,which include mycotic infections,lower limb amputa-tions and ketoacidosis.Importantly,serious side effects are rare,particularly among people without diabetes 4.A recent meta-analysis assessing the balance of risk and benefit in CKD indicat
17、es that the absolute benefits of SGLT-2 inhibition in terms of kidney disease progression,cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for heart failure,and acute kidney injury substantially outweigh any asso-ciated risks in the studied populations(Fig.1)4.Given these findings,there is a need to provide
18、prac-tical and pragmatic guidance for the use of this class of medication to facilitate rapid,effective and safe imple-mentation in clinical practice.In 2021,the UK Kid-ney Association(UKKA)Clinical Practice Guideline:SGLT-2 Inhibition in Adults with Kidney Disease Work-ing Group published a Clinica
19、l Practice Guideline on the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in adults with kidney disease in order to facilitate this,with emphasis on relevant large-scale randomised evidence for the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibition.This 2023 guideline presents updated Recommendations in light of new evidence from
20、 the recent DELIVER and EMPA-KIDNEY trials 3,7.This guidelines aims were to:(i)provide guidance on use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in people with CKD,focusing on the potential to modify risk of kidney disease progression;and(ii)support safe implementation of SGLT-2 inhibi-tors into clinical practice in peo

22、ng infor-mation,sick day guidance,and a full lay summary of the guideline.The full guideline document is provided as a Sup-plementary appendix.The guideline Working Group pro-vided four types of Recommendations:(i)Use(who should be offered SGLT-2 inhibition);(ii)Implementation(how should SGLT-2 inhi
23、bition be used);(iii)Research(what are areas of ongoing clinical uncertainty);and(iv)Audit(how effective implementation can be demonstrated).The Recommendations for Use and Recommendations for Implementation presented in this guideline are graded according to the two-tier grading system recommended
24、by the UKKA(Table 1).Throughout the guideline,we use the term“recommend”where Recommendations are based on Grade 1 evidence,and“suggest”for those based on Grade 2 evidence.Recommendations for research are not graded,and we offer Recommendations for audit only for those Recommendations with Grade 1 e
