Protecting the Filter

A diabetes pill that turned out to protect kidneys — SGLT2 inhibitors rerouted the story of chronic kidney disease, and nephrologists began prescribing hope in milligram form.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts follow declining eGFRs and climbing protein levels into treatment: the initial dip in kidney numbers that alarms everyone once, the stabilisation across quarters, dialysis postponed or avoided, and the daily realities — the genital infections the class is known for, the sick-day rules, the thirst. Writers with and without diabetes describe what a slowed slope means at a kitchen table, and the honest cases where decline continued despite everything.

Who it's for

For anyone with CKD offered an SGLT2 inhibitor, adjusting to one, or reading their lab trends like weather.
