Pharmacist prescribing for kidney care in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether having a pharmacist prescribe kidney-protective medications works better than usual care for people with type 2 diabetes and early kidney disease. If you don't have a family doctor, you may be able to get these medications more easily through a pharmacist.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have type 2 diabetes with kidney disease (moderate reduction in kidney function or protein in urine)
- You do not have a primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner)

This study tests a new tool that helps doctors screen for and manage diabetic kidney disease in primary care. It aims to see if the tool can improve care for people with type 2 diabetes.
This trial focuses on improving how kidney damage is diagnosed and how treatment is planned for people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. It may help by using detailed medical history and (if done) kidney biopsy results to guide care more accurately.
This study tests whether starting four blood-pressure and kidney-protective medications at the same time is safe and effective for people with type 2 diabetes and early kidney disease. The goal is to slow kidney damage and reduce heart and kidney problems.
This trial tests if a drug called formoterol (usually used for asthma) can help protect the kidneys in people with type 2 diabetes and early-to-moderate kidney disease. It may offer a new way to slow kidney damage.
