Dapagliflozin on Renal Morphology and Renal Perfusion in Patients One Year After Kidney Transplantation
Sponsor: University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Medical School
Summary
The aim of this study is to observe the mechanisms of dapagliflozin on the renal interstitial tissue and renal perfusion. For this purpose, renal transplanted patients as an excellent model of CKD and high cardiovascular risk (similar to patients in DAPA-CKD study) are included in this study. The objectives of the study are to analyze the effects of dapagliflozin on renal morphology and renal perfusion in patients with impaired renal function one year after kidney transplantation. This is a randomized (1:1), single centre clinical study. Each patient will be randomly assigned in an unblinded fashion to 10 mg Dapagliflozin or not 9 months after transplantation. At least 48 patients will be randomized and included. The routine renal biopsy taken one year after kidney transplantation will allow us to determine the morphological integrity of peritubular fibroblasts, interstitial inflammatory cell density and investigate markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and nitic oxide synthase expression (iNOS).
