Abstract
Chronic and acute inflammatory processes like sepsis or chronic kidney disease increase circulating GLP-1 levels. This most likely reflects a sum effect of increased GLP-1 secretion and decreased GLP-1 clearance. GLP-1 plasma levels independently predict the outcome of critically ill and end-stage renal disease patients.
