Switching From a Compounded to a Brand-Name GLP-1? Here’s How to Do It in 5 Steps
- A large meta-analysis presented at ERA 2025 evaluated GLP-1 receptor agonists' effects on kidney outcomes using data through December 2024.
- The analysis included 19 randomized controlled trials with over 90,000 patients averaging 60.77 years to assess composite renal outcomes primarily in diabetic populations.
- Results showed GLP-1 RAs reduced composite renal outcomes by 19%, improved eGFR slope, and lowered microalbuminuria, also showing cardiovascular and mortality benefits.
- The relative risk for composite renal outcomes was 0.81 , microalbuminuria reduced by 24%, and no significant increase in serious adverse events occurred.
- Investigators concluded GLP-1 RAs offer renal and cardiovascular benefits but require more trials, especially in non-diabetic patients and broader populations, to confirm findings.
