<title>Abstract</title>We investigated the impact of basal dietary sodium intake on the dapagliflozin-induced changes in albuminuria and blood pressure (BP) measured at home in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD).This was a secondary analysis of the Y-AIDA Study, in which DKD patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73 m² and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 30 mg/g creatinine were administered dapagliflozin for 24 weeks, and dapagliflozin significantly improved albuminuria levels and home BP profiles. The effects on UACR, home-measured BP, and eGFR were compared between high- and low-sodium intake groups (HS and LS groups), which were created using baseline urinary sodium-to-creatinine ratio of 84 participants with available basal sodium-to-creatinine ratios. At baseline, clinic-/home-measured BPs, UACR, and eGFR, were comparable in the two groups. After 24 weeks, the reductions from baseline in ln-UACR were comparable in the two groups. In contrast, the reductions in evening home systolic BP and eGFR from baseline were larger in HS than in LS (BP: − 13 ± 2.08 vs. − 6 ± 1.88, <italic>P</italic> = 0.020; eGFR: − 3.33 ± 1.32 vs. 0.37 ± 1.29, <italic>P</italic> = 0.049). The home BP-lowering effects of dapagliflozin are larger in HS than LS, concomitant with a larger reduction in eGFR, suggesting a dapagliflozin-induced improvement in glomerular relative hyperfiltration in HS.
