Aims This prespecified exploratory analyses from VERTIS CV (NCT01986881) aimed to assess the effects of the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor ertugliflozin on glucosuria-related (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c], uric acid, body weight) and natriuresis-related (blood pressure, haemoglobin, haematocrit, serum albumin) biomarkers according to kidney function risk category. Materials and methods Patients with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were randomized to placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, or ertugliflozin 15 mg (1:1:1). Analyses compared placebo (n = 2747) versus ertugliflozin (pooled;n = 5499) on glucosuria- and natriuresis-related biomarkers according to baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) subgroup and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease (KDIGO CKD) risk category. Results Patients were classified according to KDIGO CKD low- (49%), moderate- (32%) and high-/very-high-risk categories (19%), and eGFR groups 1 (25%), 2 (53%) and 3 (19%). At Week 18, the high-/very-high-risk category had a smaller placebo-subtracted least squares mean (LSM) change from baseline (95% confidence interval) in HbA1c (-0.34 [-0.43, -0.25]) compared with the low- and moderate-risk categories (-0.54 [-0.60, -0.49] and - 0.47 [-0.54, -0.40], respectively). This pattern was maintained throughout the study (P-interaction = 0.0001). Similar patterns based on baseline eGFR G stage were observed. Placebo-subtracted LSM changes from baseline in uric acid were lowest in the high-/very-high-risk category at Weeks 6 and 18, but the pattern was not maintained after Week 156 (P-interaction = 0.15). Effects of ertugliflozin on body weight and natriuresis-related biomarkers did not differ across KDIGO CKD categories. Conclusions In VERTIS CV, ertugliflozin was associated with physiologically favourable changes in glucosuria- and natriuresis-related biomarkers. Glycaemic efficacy of ertugliflozin was attenuated in patients wi
