Abstract:

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a progressive disease and one of the most serious complications of diabetes, which may lead to renal failure and even death. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are a novel class of hypoglycemic drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), offering notable cardiovascular advantages. Numerous studies have shown that GLP-1RAs play a renal protective role by exerting hypoglycemic and hypertensive effects, weight loss, lipid regulation, improving renal hemodynamics, regulating inflammatory response, reducing oxidative stress. and inhibiting renal fibrosis. GLP-1RAs hold significant promise in the management of DKD. This article reviews the renal protective mechanisms, clinical evidence of renal outcomes, and current guideline recommendations of GLP-1RAs. However, the complex mechanism behind the renal benefits of GLP-1RAs still needs further exploration and more research to clarify.

Key words: Diabetic kidney disease, Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, Kidney benefits
