Summary

This study is testing whether finerenone, when compared to placebo, is a tolerable and safe intervention when administered in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). This study will explore whether finerenone can mitigate the risk of transitioning to chronic kidney disease following a moderate to severe AKI. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either finerenone or a placebo, once daily for up to 45 days, in addition to their standard care. The study will monitor for side effects such as serum potassium levels and blood pressure, and will assess whether the drug helps prevent AKI from progressing to chronic kidney disease. This is a pilot feasibility study involving approximately 72 participants across 4-5 sites in Quebec and Ontario.
