The study from The Lancet highlights that GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, may offer benefits for kidney function. These benefits likely stem from mechanisms beyond glucose control, including reduced inflammation and improved blood flow, which can protect against diabetic nephropathy. The drugs may be particularly effective in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, potentially complementing existing treatments rather than replacing them. Further research is needed to understand their specific patient applications and side effects.
Lancet Study Says GLP-1 Drugs Ozempic, Wegovy Can Be Beneficial For The Kidneys
A recent study published in *The Lancet* has shed light on the potential benefits of GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, for kidney health. The findings suggest that these medications may not only aid in weight management and diabetes control but also positively impact kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney-related complications.
The study analyzed data from patients with type 2 diabetes who were prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 drugs) over a period of several years. The results indicated that these drugs could promote weight loss, which is associated with improved kidney function. Additionally, the drugs were found to reduce albuminuria—excess protein in the urine—a key indicator of kidney damage. This suggests that GLP-1 drugs may offer protective effects on the kidneys beyond their established benefits for glucose control and metabolism.
The research emphasizes that these benefits are particularly evident in patients with higher baseline risks of kidney disease, such as those with obesity or hypertension. The study authors caution, however, that while the findings are promising, they highlight the need for further research to confirm these effects across diverse populations and long-term outcomes.
