Highlights
- •This prospective study investigated pemafibrate for patients with type 2 diabetes.
- •Pemafibrate reduced triglycerides and increased high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
- •The effects of pemafibrate on lipid profile were superior to conventional fibrates.
- •The effects of pemafibrate on liver function were superior to conventional fibrates.
- •The switch from a conventional fibrate to pemafibrate improved renal function.
