Leading the Charge: Woman Behind World's Largest Dialysis Company

Helen Giza, CEO of Fresenius Medical Care, highlights the potential of new weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic to extend the lives of chronic kidney disease patients.

Fresenius is also launching an advanced dialysis machine in the US, which mimics natural kidney function and improves survival rates. Despite challenges like staff shortages and legal issues, Fresenius continues to innovate in dialysis and renal care globally.

Ozempic's Success in Kidney Disease Trial Sends Dialysis Stocks Plummeting

Novo Nordisk's diabetes drug Ozempic has shown early effectiveness in treating kidney failure, according to an interim analysis of a study. The positive results have caused shares of major dialysis providers, including Fresenius Medical Care, Baxter International, and DaVita, to plummet. Ozempic, along with its sister drug Wegovy, has the potential to impact fields beyond diabetes and obesity, as recent studies have shown their effectiveness in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The trial's early termination suggests a faster effect than anticipated, and analysts believe that drugs like Ozempic could help reduce the number of kidney disease patients over time.
