New hope for protecting transplanted kidneys in diabetic patients

NCT ID NCT04918407

Summary

This study looked at whether adding the diabetes drug empagliflozin to insulin therapy could help reduce cell damage (oxidative stress) in people with type 2 diabetes who have received a kidney transplant. Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive either insulin alone or insulin plus empagliflozin for 90 days. Researchers measured specific markers in the blood to see if the added drug provided extra protection for the transplanted kidney.
