摘要

Background

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs) are increasingly prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). This study evaluated the association between preoperative GLP-1-RAs exposure and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) following MBS.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study utilized the TriNetX Research Network to identify adults with T2DM and a body mass index exceeding 35 kg/m² who underwent elective laparoscopic MBS (2010–2024). Patients were stratified by preoperative GLP-1-RAs exposure and matched using propensity score analysis. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI within 90 days after surgery, and the secondary outcomes included mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, sepsis, and events of postoperative hyperglycemia (i.e., serum glucose > 180 mg/dL).

Results

After propensity score matching, 5,480 patients were included in each cohort. Preoperative GLP-1-RAs exposure was associated with a significantly reduced 90-day AKI risk (1.6% versus 2.3%; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.52–0.89, p = 0.005, absolute risk reduction [ARR]:0.73%, number needed to treat [NNT]:137) and 30-day risk (HR: 0.58, p = 0.001). GLP-1-RAs exposure also correlated with a lower risk of postoperative hyperglycemia (24.5% versus 26.6%, HR:0.91, 95% CI: 0.85–0.99, p = 0.013, ARR 2.04%, NNT 49). No significant differences were observed in mortality, ICU admission, or sepsis. Sensitivity analyses confirmed these consistent findings.

Conclusion

Preoperative GLP-1-RAs exposure was associated with a reduced AKI risk following MBS, with concurrent improvement in perioperative glycemic control. Future randomized controlled studies are required to validate these observational findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms.
