Using GLP-1 Receptor Agonists to Treat Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Overall Patient Health

Updated

Abstract

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with a high burden of metabolic comorbidities.

  • Obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dyslipidaemia, and polycystic ovary syndrome are common among individuals with HS.
  • Clinical management of HS has primarily focused on dermatological aspects, neglecting cardiometabolic risk factors.
  • There is a need for better integration of cardiometabolic risk management in the care of HS patients.
