Dapagliflozin preserves kidney function and reduces albuminuria in children with chronic kidney disease

Key takeaways

This study looked at dapagliflozin, a diabetes and kidney drug, in children with chronic kidney disease. It reported steadier kidney function and less protein in the urine. Because it was not a large randomized test, it points to a benefit rather than proving one.
