Tirzepatide as a treatment for kidney problems in obesity: findings from real-world use

Updated

Abstract

Three months of tirzepatide treatment may influence kidney function in adults with obesity.

  • Obesity is linked to chronic kidney disease through metabolic changes and inflammation.
  • Tirzepatide is known for its effectiveness in promoting weight loss and improving metabolic health.
  • Data on tirzepatide's effects on kidney function in real-world settings is currently limited.
  • The study aims to assess changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after tirzepatide treatment.
