From Weight Loss to Obesity to Cardiorenal Metabolic Health

A profound shift in the understanding of medicines that help with excessive or abnormal fat is underway. A few years ago, everybody thought of these in only one frame of reference – weight loss drugs. But that is changing now. Discourse about them is moving from weight loss to obesity treatment and even further, to cardio, renal, and metabolic health. This change is moving on several fronts. But t

Review Description

Obesity is a leading risk factor for the development and progression of kidney disease and a major barrier to optimal management of patients with chronic kidney disease. While in the past anti-obesity drugs offered only modest weight loss efficacy in exchange for various safety and tolerability risks, a wave of safer, more tolerable, and more effective treatment options is transforming the management of obesity. This review evaluates current and future pharmacologic anti-obesity therapy in adults through a kidney-oriented lens. It also explores the goals of anti-obesity treatment, describes the underlying putative mechanisms of action, and raises important scientific questions that deserve further exploration in people with chronic kidney disease.
