History of Changes

Purpose

Recent studies in rodents show that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues protect against diabetic nephropathy. We hypothesise that this is also the case in humans. This study will investigate the short-term effect of liraglutide (GLP-1 analogue) on the kidneys in type 2 diabetic patients. Impact on basic kidney physiological will be determined and kidney injury markers will be measured as surrogate parameters of kidney protection.
