Hello! I have actually joined this group for a very similar reason - to figure out if semaglutide injections are having a negative effect on my dads kidneys (his recent labs were a bit concerning to me but his NP is not concerned).
Frustrating, if there is a sudden decline even if it’s not major, we fail to treat it proactively and are too late most times.

Semiglutide improves kidney function in some and decreases kidney function in othershttps://www.kidneymedicinejournal.org/article/S2590-0595(20)30269-7/fulltext.

It is so good that you are watching your dad's labs. Can you get the opinion of the MD overseeing the NP.
