Summary

This study looks at how dapagliflozin, a drug used for diabetes, affects heart and lung function in people with chronic kidney disease. Researchers will measure heart strain, oxygen use during exercise, and blood chemicals. The goal is to understand how the drug works, not to cure the disease. About 60 adults with moderate kidney disease and early signs of heart failure will take part.
