Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the association between the concentration of urinary megalin and its ligand molecules such as alpha1-microglobulin and beta2-microglobulin and the change in renal function (eGFR)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) The change in eGFR 2) Notable adverse effects (hypoglycemia, urinary tract, and genital infection, etc) 3) Serious adverse events (serious hypoglycemia, sepsis, hypovolemia, cerebral infarction, ischemic heart disease, ketoacidosis, acute kidney injury, and serious eruption, etc) 4) Other biomarkers such as urinary podocalyxin 5) Dietary evaluation using self-administered diet history questionnaire (DHQ) 6) Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)
