Targeting the Pathophysiology of Sickle Cell-Related Kidney Disease Using the SGLT2 Inhibitors, Empagliflozin

Sponsor: University of Illinois at Chicago

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an inherited red blood disorder. The kidneys are among the most commonly affected organ systems in SCA. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved empagliflozin as a treatment to reduce the decline of kidney function in those with kidney disease. The proposed research study aims to determine whether empagliflozin can prevent the progression of kidney dysfunction in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) who are at high risk of developing advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).
