Summary

This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug usually used for diabetes, can help people with end-stage kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis. Over six months, 38 participants will take the drug daily to see if it improves fluid removal, dialysis adequacy, and urine output. The goal is to find a new way to enhance dialysis effectiveness.
