NCT ID NCT07155694

Summary

This study aims to understand how two kidney-protective medications, finerenone and empagliflozin, work in African American veterans with diabetes-related kidney disease. Researchers will measure specific markers of kidney injury in urine and blood to see how these drugs affect kidney cell health and inflammation. The goal is to learn more about why these medications help and if using them together provides extra benefit for this high-risk group.
