Nowadays worldwide, an estimated 200 million people have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Diabetic nephropathy is a diagnosis that refers to specific pathologic structural and functional changes seen in kidney patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Incretins such as Glucagon like peptide 1(GLP-1) control blood glucose level through different metabolic pathways; for example, inhibition of glucagon production, and delay in gastric emptying and satiety induction. Accumulated evidence suggests that long term treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonist is associated with a reduction in measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR), preservation of renal function and/or a decrease in the incidence of cardiovascular events.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
