Clinical trials: Ectopic Fat
Chronic Kidney Diseases
Effects of GLP1-RA on Ectopic Fat Deposition in Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a burden of morbidity and mortality. Increased protein breakdown in skeletal muscle (wasting) and ectopic fat deposition are important determinants of poor clinical outcome in patient with CKD.
