Visceral Adipose Tissue and Liver Changes Associated With Semaglutide in CKD
Studying how semaglutide affects belly fat and liver changes in people with chronic kidney disease
📍 Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute · Edmonton, Alberta · Get directions →
Obesity is considered a global pandemic and is associated with various diseases and metabolic complications, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, cholesterol disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. Obesity can affect the kidneys in two main ways: indirectly, through mechanisms related to diabetes mellitus and/or high blood pressure, and directly, through complex proteins called "adipokines," which are produced by adipocytes.
