The Effect of Glycemic Control on Renal Triglyceride Content Assessed by Proton Spectroscopy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Single-Center Parallel-Group Trial
Ectopic lipid accumulation in the kidney (fatty kidney) is a potential driver of diabetic kidney disease, and tight glycemic control can reduce risk of diabetic nephropathy. We assessed whether glycemic control influences renal triglyceride content (RTGC). Furthermore, we compared glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide versus standard glucose-lowering therapy.
