Incretin-based therapies for cardio-kidney-liver-metabolic disease: the role of the liver in the modern era of chronic disease management

Abstract

Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is a leading cause of disease globally and demands new therapeutic approaches to mitigate underlying metabolic dysregulation. Incretin-based therapies are emerging as a viable prospect to fulfil this unmet niche. A literature review to inform the evidence base for incretin focussed pharmacology in the metabolic liver diseases space and an informed commentary on unmet areas of need. Incretin-based therapeutics demonstrate multifarious benefits across the chronic metabolic disease spectrum with promising data across the continuum of pathology.
