Abstract

OBJECTIVES: In recent clinical studies, saxagliptin exhibited nephroprotective potential by lowering albuminuria. In this study, we aimed to determine whether these kidney effects of saxagliptin were mediated by changes in markers of kidney tubular damage, including urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated protein (uNGAL) and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (uL-FABP).
