There is an unmet need for renoprotective drugs for more pronounced reduction of albuminuria beyond that provided by renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and for effective slowdown of eGFR decline independent of albuminuria.

Abstract
There is an unmet need for renoprotective drugs for more pronounced reduction of albuminuria beyond that provided by renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and for effective slowdown of eGFR decline independent of albuminuria. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have proven effective in reducing prespecified secondary composite kidney outcomes in cardiovascular outcome trials. However, GLP-1 RAs showed a prevailing anti-albuminuric effect, additional to that of RAS blockers, and a non-significant risk reduction in worsening of kidney function, at variance with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors. Mechanisms underlying renal protection with GLP-1 RAs are porly understood. Though treatment with GLP-1 RAs resulted in better glycaemic, blood pressure and body weight control versus placebo, correction for on-trial changes in these parameters did not significantly affect results. Anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant effects via intracellular signalling through protein kinase A, natriuretic effect via inhibition of sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 and reduction of hyperfiltration have been proposed as direct renoprotective effects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
