Summary

Canagliflozin is an oral drug which is currently approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Canagliflozin acts by increasing salt and sugar loss in the urine, and has shown to protect heart, kidney, and blood vessel function in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown how canagliflozin protects the kidneys from disease. Therefore, this study plans to learn more about how canagliflozin works to protect against diabetic kidney disease in adults with type 2 diabetes. This study will use state-of-the-art kidney imaging, kidney biopsies and detailed testing of kidney function to determine the mechanisms of protection afforded by canagliflozin.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

canagliflozin

Canagliflozin is in a class of medications called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It is a used to treat type 2 diabetes. Canagliflozin lowers blood sugars by causing the kidneys to excrete more glucose in the urine.

DRUG

Aminohippurate Sodium Inj 20%

Diagnostic aid/agent used to measure renal plasma flow (RPF) PAH (Basic Pharma, Geleen, Netherlands) has been used to measure RPF in human research for 7 decades, and is very well tolerated and generally recognized as safe with low toxicity.
