ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how two types of medications, called SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists, can help obese patients with kidney disease. The main goal is to see how these treatments affect kidney function and the amount of protein in urine over a 24-hour period. Patients who join the trial will be divided into four groups: one will continue their current medication, while the others will receive either SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, or a combination of both along with their existing treatment.
To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be between 18 and 75 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) indicating obesity, and have kidney disease confirmed by a recent biopsy. They should also have been on optimized treatment for their kidney condition for at least three months. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and those who join can expect regular check-ups to monitor their health and how well the medications are working. It's important to know that certain health conditions and medications may exclude someone from participating, so potential participants should discuss their individual situations with their healthcare provider.
