Study Overview
Brief Summary
The primary purpose of conducting this study is to evaluate the role of hydroxychloroquine in preservig the kidney function by slowing down the progression of knidney diseasedue to type-II diabetes. Considering the multifaceted effects of hydroxychloroquine and corresponding pathophysiological mechanisms involved in diabetic nephropathy, we propose that concurrent use of hydroxychloroquine along with ACE inhibitor or ARB or their combination with other antihypertensive agents may slow down the progression of chronic kidney disease in type-II diabetic patients.
