GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Diabetic Kidney Disease: From Clinical Outcomes to Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are now widely used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A series of clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that GLP-1RAs have beneficial effects on DKD, independent of their glucose-lowering abilities, which are mediated by natriuresis, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress properties. Furthermore, GLP-1RAs have been shown to suppress renal fibrosis. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that GLP-1RAs have beneficial effects on renal outcomes, especially in patients with T2D who are at high risk for CVD. These findings suggest that GLP-1RAs hold great promise in preventing the onset and progression of DKD. However, GLP-1RAs have only been shown to reduce albuminuria, and their ability to reduce progression to ESRD remains to be elucidated. In this review article, we highlight the current understanding of the clinical efficacy and the mechanisms underlying the effects of GLP-1RAs in DKD.

Project description:ImportanceDespite its demonstrated benefits in improving cardiovascular risk profiles, the association of tirzepatide with mortality and cardiovascular and kidney outcomes compared with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) remains unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate the association of tirzepatide with mortality and adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes compared with GLP-1 RAs in patients with type 2 diabetes.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective cohort study used US Collaborative Network of TriNetX data collected on individuals with type 2 diabetes aged 18 years or older initiating tirzepatide or GLP-1 RA between June 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023; without stage 5 chronic kidney disease or kidney failure at baseline; and without myocardial infarction or ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke within 60 days of drug initiation.ExposuresTreatment with tirzepatide compared with GLP-1 RA.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), the composite of MACEs and all-cause mortality, kidney events, acute kidney injury, and major adverse kidney events. All outcomes were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression models.ResultsThere were 14 834 patients treated with tirzepatide (mean [SD] age, 55.4 [11.8] years; 8444 [56.9%] female) and 125 474 treated with GLP-1 RA (mean [SD] age, 58.1 [13.3] years; 67 474 [53.8%] female). After a median (IQR) follow-up of 10.5 (5.2-15.7) months, 95 patients (0.6%) in the tirzepatide group and 166 (1.1%) in the GLP-1 RA group died. Tirzepatide treatment was associated with lower hazards of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 0.58; 95% CI, 0.45-0.75), MACEs (AHR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.71-0.91), the composite of MACEs and all-cause mortality (AHR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.68-0.84), kidney events (AHR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.37-0.73), acute kidney injury (AHR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.70-0.88), and major adverse kidney events (AHR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.44-0.67). Treatment with tirzepatide was associated with greater decreases in glycated hemoglobin (treatment difference, -0.34 percentage points; 95% CI, -0.44 to -0.24 percentage points) and body weight (treatment difference, -2.9 kg, 95% CI, -4.8 to -1.1 kg) compared with GLP-1 RA. An interaction test for subgroup analysis revealed consistent results stratified by estimated glomerular filtration rate, glycated hemoglobin level, body mass index, comedications, and comorbidities.Conclusions and relevanceIn this study, treatment with tirzepatide was associated with lower hazards of all-cause mortality, adverse cardiovascular events, acute kidney injury, and adverse kidney events compared with GLP-1 RA in patients with type 2 diabetes. These findings support the integration of tirzepatide into therapeutic strategies for this population.
