Abstract Background: Nearly all forms of acute glomerulonephritis have a tendency to progress to chronic glomerulonephritis. The condition is characterized by irreversible and progressive glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis, ultimately leading to a reduction in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and retention of uremic toxins. If disease progression is not halted with therapy, the net results are chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and cardiovascular disease (Couser, 2001). Aim of the study: examine The effect of sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitor Empagliflozin on albuminuria and kidney function progression in patients with non diabetic glomerulonephritis. |
