Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at the fat that surrounds the kidney in people with chronic kidney disease. It used ultrasound to measure this fat in people taking certain diabetes drugs. The study shows a link between these drugs and changes in kidney fat. It is not a test of the drug itself, so it does not prove the drug causes the change.
