Summary

This study tests whether canagliflozin, a diabetes medicine, can help people on peritoneal dialysis remove more fluid and reduce scarring of the belly lining. About 30 adults with kidney failure will receive either the drug or a placebo for 26 weeks, then switch. The goal is to see if the drug improves dialysis and lowers inflammation.
