Ozempic Is Secretly Healing Kidneys—Here’s How (Kidney Doctor Explains)
Summary
- GLP-1 Medications Offer Direct Kidney Protection - They reduce proteinuria by 40%, improve eGFR, decrease kidney fat, and enhance blood flow—effects far beyond glucose or weight control.
- These Drugs Reprogram Kidney Cells at the Genetic Level - The REMODEL Trial showed 60–63% reductions in genes driving inflammation, metabolic stress, and fibrosis—literally slowing the cellular drivers of kidney damage.
- Best Results Come from Personalized, Multi-Layered Care - GLP-1 medications work best alongside nutrition, gut healing, stress support, and root-cause functional medicine—not as stand-alone treatments.
