Abstract
Unlike GLP-1, liraglutide is not cleared by the glomerulus and its pharmacokinetic is not altered in patients with mild renal impairment. The aim of our study was to analyze the effects of liraglutide on renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes. A twelve-month longitudinal prospective post-marketing study was performed. According to eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) calculated with CKD-EPI equation, 84 consecutive patients were divided in Group A (eGFR > 90 ml/min) and Group B (eGFR 1c (p 90 ml/min). At baseline, five patients had pathological microalbuminuria, but at 12 months three of them returned to normal albuminuria (p
