Conditions

Diabetes and peritoneal dialysis Nutritional, Metabolic, Endocrine

Interventions

We will prospectively and consecutively enroll the diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients (n=60) to participate this clinical trial. Study subjects will be randomly allocated by sealed envelope into th
n=30) and the control group (standardized pharmacotherapy, including antihyperglycemic medicines
n=30). The dulaglutide therapy will be maintained for one year, and the patients will be followed up for one year to answer the primary and secondary endpoints.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Change from Baseline in the Mean Peritoneal Fluid Glucose ratio (D4/D0) after 12 Months of Treatment with Dulaglutide. [Time Frame: baseline, 6 months and 12 months] The mean glucose concentrations will be evaluated by the Peritoneal Equilibrium Test from Baseline and after 6 and 12 months with Dulaglutide treatment. The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) characterizes the peritoneal transport of fluid, creatinine and urea using a 4.5% dextrose peritoneal fluid. The concentration of glucose in the dialysis fluid (D4) at 4 hours is divided by the glucose in the dialysis fluid at the beginning (D0), generating the D4/D0. 2. Change from Baseline in the Mean Ultrafiltration Volume after 12 Months of Treatment with Dulaglutide. [Time Frame: baseline, 6 months and 12 months] Ultrafiltration volume from Baseline and after 6 and 12 months with Dulaglutide treatment assessment by the Peritoneal Equilibrium Test. The modified peritoneal equilibration test (PET) characterizes the peritoneal transport of fluid, creatinine and urea using a 4.5% dextrose peritoneal fluid. 3. Change from Baseline in the Mean 4 Hour Peritoneal Fluid to Plasma Creatinine (D/P) after 12 Months of Treatment with Dulaglutide. [Time Frame: baseline, 6 months and 12 months] The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) characterizes the peritoneal transport of fluid, creatinine and urea using a 4.5% dextrose peritoneal fluid. The concentration of creatinine in the dialysis fluid (D) at 4 hours is divided by the plasma creatinine (P), generating the D/P creatinine. 4. Change from Baseline in the Mean 4 Hour Peritoneal Fluid to Plasma BUN (D/P) after 12 Months of Treatment with Dulaglutide. [Time Frame: baseline, 6 months and 12 months] The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) characterizes the peritoneal transport of fluid, creatinine

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
[Time frame: baseline (pre-treatment), and 12 months (post-treatment)]. 1. Incidence rate of ultrafiltration failure measured using patient records 2. Incidence rate of peritoneal dialysis failure (i.e., peritoneal dialysis transfer to hemodialysis) 3. Incidence rate of peritonitis measured using patient records 4. Preservation of residual renal function in dialysis patients (i.e., 24-hour urinary urea and creatinine clearance and urine total protein to creatinine ratio)
