Which statement best describes the role of an SGLT2 inhibitor in CKD?

A
It is used only to lower blood glucose in people with diabetes.
B
It may protect kidney and cardiovascular health in eligible people with CKD, including some without diabetes.

A patient has an eGFR of $42\,\mathrm{mL/min/1.73\,m^2}$ and a UACR of $420\,\mathrm{mg/g}$ . Which interpretation is best?

A
The UACR is normal because it is measured in $\mathrm{mg/g}$ .
B
The reduced eGFR and severely increased albuminuria are both important risk markers.
C
The results prove that kidney failure will occur soon.
D
The eGFR alone determines the person's risk and follow-up needs.
