Indications for SGLT-2 inhibitors

Where are we now? (41) Where are we going? (81)
Uncontrolled T2D despite metformin and eGFR > 30 – 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 Uncontrolled T2D despite metformin and eGFR > 30–60 ml/min/1.73 m2
Controlled T2D and:
 - CVD
 - HF (HFpEF or HFrEF)
 - CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, hyperfiltration, albuminuria)
HF or CKD without T2D

Abbreviations: CKD: chronic kidney disease, CVD: cardiovascular disease; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; HF: heart failure; HFpEF: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; T2D: type 2 diabetes mellitus

if the indication involves glucose-lowering, eGFR threshold depends on SGLT-2 inhibitor and country
