Abstract
Background
This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of incretin-based therapeutic agents, including the latest agent tirzepatide, on renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods
MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Cochrane databases were searched for studies involving incretin-based therapeutic agents up to July 2022. Randomized and controlled trials comparing incretin-based therapeutic agents with placebo or other antidiabetic agents, and reporting renal outcomes were selected. The inclusion criteria were items related to the effects on albuminuria and the kidney-specific composite outcomes. A network meta-analysis was conducted to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results
Twelve trials consisting of 75,346 participants were included in this meta-analysis. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists reduced the risk of the kidney-specific composite outcome by 21% (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.75–0.85), and worsening albuminuria by 24% (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.71–0.82). In particular, the dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide remarkably reduced the risk of the kidney-specific composite outcome by 45% (HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.40–0.77), and worsening albuminuria by 62% (HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.24–0.61).
Conclusions
Among incretin-based therapeutic agents, tirzepatide was associated with a significantly reduced risk of diabetic kidney disease.
