Efficacy and Safety of Dapagliflozin in Children With Proteinuria
Sponsor: Al-Quds University
Summary
This interventional study investigates the efficacy of dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, in pediatric patients with renal disease. The primary outcomes include changes in 24-hour proteinuria indexed to body surface area (mg/m²/day) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) before and after dapagliflozin administration. By closely monitoring these parameters, the study aims to assess the renal protective potential of dapagliflozin in children and adolescents.

Interventions
Dapagliflozin (5-10 mg daily) - SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy
Participants will receive dapagliflozin, an oral sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, administered once daily at a dose of 5-10 mg. The intervention is intended to reduce proteinuria and provide nephroprotection in pediatric patients with kidney disease. Patients will be followed monthly, with monitoring of renal function markers (serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and estimated glomerular filtration rate) and 24-hour urinary protein excretion normalized to body surface area, in addition to safety outcomes such as hypoglycemia, dehydration, and urinary tract infections.
