Finerenone (Kerendia) is a new drug that is prescribed to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular death, non-fatal heart attack, and hospitalization for heart failure in adult patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes.

Thanks again, dr Bestermann. My husband has kidney issues and has in the past had a mild stroke and triple bypass. He is not diabetic. Your postings will be my go to for sensible treatments. He will read yours if I give them to him but not too often. 🙄🤔. LOL.
Because of his kidney issues his doctor will need to watch things like changes in kidney function and potassium level; but OMT as described in these pages is the best treatment for him. Many of us can thank the women in our lives for keeping us healthier.
He has a kidney doc and those are on his radar. But it bothers me that she never tells him how much to lower potassium. How many grams of sodium snd potassium should he have. He has regular blood tests. He eats too many processed carbs and his protein intake is ridiculously low for 77 years old, IMHO. I have read studies where protein is not the problem. The reason there are so many dialysis centers now is because of the SAD diets, I’ve heard explained. People aren’t eating too much protein. And now we are to eat very little meat which leads to less protein and chicken has problems too. Plant proteins are not adequate and the Bally hoo on pea protein is a scam IMHO. He bought 2 boxes of wheat thins yesterday and they will be gone soon but checked the potassium on the box. He is very thin but believes he should lose weight because of a slight tummy. But I’m the nut. Oh, well, thanks for listening.
His pressure should be 130/80 or less with no fluid retention. If he has either high pressure or fluid retention he should limit his sodium to 2000 mg a day. If either persist, limit to 1000 mg. Processed carbs are loaded with sodium and that will be hard for him. If his potassium is high, dietary potassium can be restricted. Regular wheat thins are loaded with sodium. There is a problem with too much protein in severe chronic kidney disease but he does need at least what they allow him
I agree, he is saving our lives and protecting our health. It’s concerning these days. Plus the fact new drugs or devices may present with an unknown safety or adverse event and we won’t know that until more people are exposed. Older drugs have already gathered and accumulated the data. Their behavior is known.
That is a great point. Spironolactone has been around for 50 years and eplerenone for a couple of decades. Eplerenone especially is a life-saving precision drug.
I don't know the source, but here is the quote. "The hardest lesson for a man to learn is one that earns less money." Pushing Finerenone directly to consumers is great for the drug companies but bad for everyone else. It is up to everyone else to protect ourselves.

Thank you again. You also point out that we have lost common sense. But I wonder 💭 if some knew however profit matters more.
