To do this, we conduct an intervention trial in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and DKD where we investigate whether the inhibition of intestinal cholesterol absorption with ezetimibe affects albuminuria (a strong risk factor for diabetic complications) and kidney fat accumulation. At the same time and to confirm that kidney fat accumulation is, in fact, abnormal in T2D and DKD, we conduct a cross-sectional study in which we compare kidney fat accumulation in participants at baseline from the intervention trial with a group of individuals with T2D and no DKD and a group of healthy individuals.', 'detailedDescription': 'Objective:\n\n1.
