Kidney transplant drug shows promise for proteinuria reduction
NCT ID NCT06165601
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether dapagliflozin, a diabetes drug, can reduce protein in the urine (proteinuria) in people who have had a kidney transplant and have chronic kidney disease. Researchers followed 55 patients for 6 months to see if the drug lowered protein levels and protected kidney function. The goal was to find a new way to slow kidney damage in transplant recipients.
