Review Article GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Figure 1. Physiologic Effects of the Incretin Family of Drugs.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are increasingly used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, and trials have shown reductions in cardiovascular risk and slowing of kidney failure. Adverse events are mostly gastrointestinal. Read the full review: nej.md/4sUFlys

No data in kids bit I worry about it.
Very nice review reiterating that beta-blockers should not be used as a first-line antihypertensive (outside of select cardiac comorbidities). #nephsky #htn

Four graphs compare cumulative incidence over time (0-2 years) for CCB and RAASi treatments. Graphs A and B show primary income, unadjusted and adjusted respectively, while C and D show secondary income, also unadjusted and adjusted. Number at risk included.
Among children with chronic kidney disease, first-line #RAASi were associated with lower risk of CKD progression and improved blood pressure control compared to #CCB.

Where's the stethoscope?
Another insane move by Trump. They're sure to make things worse!
Could rapidly increasing plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels directly cause faster progression to kidney failure in children with CKD, or are they primarily a biomarker of other underlying, actively damaging mechanisms? #ASNCJASN kidney.pub/CJASN0954
