Dulaglutide and Glomerular Hyperfiltration, Proteinuria, and Albuminuria in Youth With Type 2 Diabetes: Post Hoc Analysis of the AWARD-PEDS Study

Diabetes CarePublished Post hoc analysis of the AWARD-PEDS randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Dulaglutide was associated with attenuated glomerular hyperfiltration and proteinuria in youth with type 2 diabetes. The impact of these changes on the risk of diabetic kidney disease is unclear.
