Clear, science-backed guidance for people with CKD taking GLP-1 medications — plus practical insights for dietitians and healthcare providers supporting them.
Why GLP-1s and Kidney Help?
Currently, Ozempic is the only GLP-1 medication FDA-approved to reduce the risk of kidney disease progression in adults with type 2 diabetes. While weight loss is often the most talked-about benefit, GLP-1 medications can also help improve blood sugar control, reduce inflammation, support cardiovascular health, and impact kidney function.
Most resources about GLP-1 medications don’t consider the unique needs of people with kidney disease. That’s where GLP-1 Kidney Help comes in.
We provide science-backed guidance for people taking GLP-1 medications and practical insights for dietitians and healthcare providers. Our goal is to help you understand how GLP-1 therapy fits into kidney-focused care — so you can feel informed, supported, and confident.
