Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have gained increasing attention for their potential benefits in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Most supportive evidence of a kidney-protective effect of the GLP-1RA class of medications has been derived from kidney-related outcomes reported from cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs).
