What this trial means for you
This study is recruiting now at 1 US site. It's studying Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade, Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP 1 RA), Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists(MRAs) for diabetic nephropathies, kidney diseases, renal insufficiency, chronic.
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about kidney health in adults with diabetic kidney disease and other groups. Researchers will study kidney tissue and other samples. They want to learn how sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a type of diabetes medicine, may affect the kidneys. People can join only if they are already having a kidney biopsy or kidney surgery as part of their regular medical care. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Do people who take SGLT2 inhibitors show different biological patterns in kidney tissue than similar people who do not take them? * Are these kidney tissue patterns linked with how kidney health changes over time? Researchers will compare participants who take SGLT2 inhibitors with similar participants who do not take these medicines. Participants will: Let researchers use one stored slide of kidney tissue from their regular care (no extra research biopsy) Give a blood sample and a urine sample Let researchers review medical record information over time
