The prevalence of chronic kidney disease is rising steadily and represents a major public health challenge. Hypertension and proteinuria are two factors strongly associated with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the high risk of cardiovascular complications. Achieving blood pressure control and reducing proteinuria is therefore a major objective in the management of chronic renal failure. Until recently, inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were the only therapeutic class known to have both anti-proteinuric and anti-hypertensive action, reducing the risk of progression to end-stage renal disease. The Investigators intend to conduct an observational study with the primary objective of studying the evolution of proteinuria in kidney transplant patients treated with dapagliflozin according to the marketing authorization. The secondary objectives of the study are to investigate other expected benefits, including effects on renal function and metabolic effects, as well as potential side-effects of this treatment in this population.
