  1. 01HumanNon-randomized trialEfficacy outcome

    In adults with type 2 diabetes, long-term liraglutide treatment reduced measured GFR by 11 mL/min/1.73 m2 from baseline.

    In plain wordsIn adults with type 2 diabetes, a year of liraglutide was linked to a reversible fall in kidney filtration rate.

    Summary
    Baseline GFR was 100.6 (24.9) mL/min/1.73 m(2) and was reduced by 11 (95% CI: 6.6-15.7, p < 0.001) mL/min/1.73 m(2), independent of change in 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP), weight, UAER or HbA(1c) (p≥0.33).

    In adults with type 2 diabetes on liraglutide, the GFR reduction was independent of changes in 24-h systolic blood pressure, weight, UAER or HbA1c.

    In plain wordsOn liraglutide, the fall in kidney filtration was not explained by changes in blood pressure, weight, urine albumin or HbA1c.
