Renal involvement is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematous. Lupus Nephropathy should be detected early. Albuminuria may be the only finding in the early stage of kidney disease. An observational, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out to determine the presence of Albuminuria (> 30 mg/24 h) in 60 patients with SLE who were admitted to the Rheumatology Service of the “10 de Octubre” Surgical Clinical Hospital, between October 2013 and September 2014. Albuminuria was observed to increase with increasingly pronounced drops in Glomerular Filtration (predicted according to the equation used in the MDRD Study). A significant statistical association was also obtained between albuminuria and disease evolution time: the longer the disease evolution time, the greater the albuminuria observed. Albuminuria is frequent in patients with SLE, its values being directly proportional to the time of evolution of the disease. This did not occur with the Glomerular Filtration, which remained relatively constant for any time of disease evolution.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10%–13% of the global population, necessitating innovative treatments. Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, shows promise by reducing glycated hemoglobin and benefiting kidney and cardiovascular health. By spotlighting renoprotective mechanisms like glucose control and anti-inflammatory effects, insights from trials such as EMPA-REG OUTCOME unveil decreased kidney disease progression, improved eGFR, and reduced albuminuria with empagliflozin. Safety profiles and comparisons: Evaluating safety profiles, potential adverse events, and comparisons with other SGLT2 inhibitors provides a nuanced perspective on the therapeutic potential of empagliflozin. The review emphasizes the importance of diverse CKD population studies, continuous safety monitoring, and exploring SGLT2 inhibitors in specific demographics. In summary, empagliflozin emerges as a versatile therapeutic option in the SGLT2 inhibitor class for CKD, reshaping disease management. Final thoughts: Ongoing research and vigilant monitoring are crucial for maximizing the potential of SGLT2 inhibitors, especially empagliflozin, to enhance patient well-being in CKD.
