Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is secreted in the gut and targets receptors throughout the body, including the brain
Semaglutide offers several benefits that are helpful for patients with chronic kidney disease, including: Lowering blood sugar without increasing the risk of low blood sugar Supporting steady weight loss, which helps ease pressure on the kidneys Slowing digestion and reducing appetite, leading to improved blood sugar control Reducing inflammation, which is known to make chronic kidney disease worse Helping protect blood vessels, including those in the kidneys These effects combine to create a treatment that may slow down the loss of kidney function in people with diabetes and early-stage chronic kidney disease
