What this study is about
Diabetes management presents a complex clinical scenario marked by several challenges, especially in chronic kidney failure. These include navigating potential drug interactions between oral antidiabetic therapies and other agents. Furthermore, these patients may experience various adverse drug effects, such as lactic acidosis, electrolyte abnormalities such as hypomagnesemia, fluid retention, and lipid derangements, which can further augment overall morbidity. Consequently, many patients receive insulin. However, prolonged intensive insulin therapy may be linked to several adverse outcomes, including an increased risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain. Hence, a common practice is to transition to medications commonly used other populations of patients. With their established benefits on glycemic control, cardiovascular health, renal benefits, and weight management, in conjunction with the aforementioned adverse effects associated with other oral antidiabetics agents, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have emerged as an attractive therapeutic option for patients with kidney failure.
