[Possibilities of therapy GLP1 RA for diabetics with nephropathy].

The incretin hormone GLP1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) has also systemic effects besides its effects on the pancreas. The renal expression for the receptors GLP1 and DPP4 has been described in a whole line of experimental stu-dies. Activation of the receptors for GLP1 in the kidneys has diuretic and natriuretic effects apparently through the renal tubular cells and sodium transporters. Pre-clinical incretin therapy decreased albuminuria, affected glomerulosclerosis, oxidative stress and fibrosis in the kidneys. Diabetic nephropathy is the major cause of kidney failure. In the course of renal insufficiency the functional possibilities and simultaneous safe compensation of diabetes are limited. The treatment GLP1 RA of patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy appear to be effective from the aspect of effectiveness and safety.
