Do you offer semaglutide for weight loss management in patients with CKD?

I do, but mostly a different GLP-1, trizipitide. I think the side effect profile is cleaner and better tolerated in CKD and post-transplant patients, decreasing renal complications associated with the side effects.

I have prescribed semaglutide for kidney and CVD risk reduction primarily. If the patient needs weight loss management, I prefer the PCP or others navigate this.
