Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameter is the correlation<br /><br>between the plasma concentration and pharmacokinetic parameters of metformin<br /><br>with Hba1c% in patients with type 2 diabetes and eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73m2.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>• Correlation of pharmacokinetic parameters and plasma concentration of<br /><br>metformin with lactic acid<br /><br>• Correlate plasma concentrations of metformin with renal function (eGFR) in<br /><br>patients with type 2 diabetes and eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2<br /><br>• Correlate red blood cell concentrations of metformin with renal function<br /><br>(eGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes and eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2<br /><br>• within-person day-to-day variability in plasma metformin concentration and<br /><br>pharmacokinetic parameters<br /><br>• Correlate pharmacogenetic polymorphisms with metformin pharmacokinetics and<br /><br>pharmacodynamics in patients with type 2 diabetes and eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2</p><br>
