Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health concern with an estimated prevalence of about 13.4% worldwide. It is cause and consequence of various comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases. In parallel, common pathological conditions closely related to ageing and unhealthy dietary habits increase the risk of CKD development and progression, including type 2 diabetes and obesity. Among these, obesity is either independent risk factor for new onset kidney disease or accelerates the rate of decline of kidney function by multiple mechanisms. Therefore, the role of diets aimed at attaining weight loss in patients with obesity is clearly essential to prevent CKD as to slow disease progression. Various dietary approaches have been licensed for the medical dietary therapy in CKD, including low-protein diet and Mediterranean diet. Interestingly, emerging evidence also support the use of low-carbohydrate/ketogenic diet (LCD/KD) in these patients. More specifically, LCD/KDs may efficiently promote weight loss, improve metabolic parameters, and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in a dietary strategy that act globally in managing collateral conditions that are directly and indirectly related to the kidney function. CONCLUSION This consensus statement from the Italian Society of Endocrinology (SIE), working group of the Club Nutrition - Hormones and Metabolism; the Italian Society of Nutraceuticals (SINut), Club Ketodiets and Nutraceuticals "KetoNut-SINut"; and the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN) is intended to be a guide for Endocrinologist, Nutritionists and Nephrologist who deal with the management of patients with obesity with non-dialysis CKD providing a practical guidance on assessing nutritional status and prescribing the optimal diet in order to best manage obesity to prevent CKD and its progression to dialysis.

Abstract
Obesity has received considerable attention in general medicine and nephrology over the last few years. This condition increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which are the main risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidney damage caused by obesity can be explained by many mechanisms, such as sympathetic nervous and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems activation, mechanical stress, hormonal unbalance, as well as inflammatory cytokines production. Even though creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equations in obese individuals have been validated (Salazar-Corcoran and CKD-MCQ), changes in body weight after bariatric surgery (BS) leads to changes in creatininemia, affecting its reliability. Thus, an average between creatine and cystatin-based GFR equations would be more appropriate in this setting. Bariatric surgery can reverse diabetes mellitus and improve hypertension, which are the main causes of CKD. Conclusion: GFR can be affected by obesity and BS, and its value should be cautiously evaluated in this setting.

Abstract
CONTEXT Studies on human renal metabolism are scanty. Nowadays, functional imaging allows the characterization of renal metabolism in a noninvasive manner. We have recently demonstrated that fluorodeoxyglucose F18 (18F FDG) positron emission tomography can be used to analyze renal glucose uptake (GU) rates, and that the renal cortex is an insulin-sensitive tissue. OBJECTIVE To confirm that renal GU is decreased in people with obesity and to test whether circulating metabolites are related to renal GU. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Eighteen people with obesity and 18 nonobese controls were studied with [18F]FDG positron emission tomography during insulin clamp. Renal scans were obtained ∼60 minutes after [18F]FDG injection. Renal GU was measured using fractional uptake rate and after correcting for residual intratubular [18F]FDG. Circulating metabolites were measured using high-throughput proton nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics. RESULTS Cortical GU was higher in healthy nonobese controls compared with people with obesity (4.7 [3.4-5.6] vs 3.1 [2.2-4.3], P = .004, respectively), and it associated positively with the degree of insulin sensitivity (M value) (r = 0.42, P = .01). Moreover, cortical GU was inversely associated with circulating β-OH-butyrate (r = -0.58, P = .009), acetoacetate (r = -0.48, P = .008), citrate (r = -0.44, P = .01), and free fatty acids (r = -0.68, P < .0001), even when accounting for the M value. On the contrary, medullary GU was not associated with any clinical parameters. CONCLUSION These data confirm differences in renal cortical GU between people with obesity and healthy nonobese controls. Moreover, the negative correlations between renal cortex GU and free fatty acids, ketone bodies, and citrate are suggestive of substrate competition in the renal cortex.

Abstract
Obesity is a leading risk factor for the development and progression of kidney disease and a major barrier to optimal management of patients with chronic kidney disease. While in the past anti-obesity drugs offered only modest weight loss efficacy in exchange for various safety and tolerability risks, a wave of safer, more tolerable, and more effective treatment options is transforming the management of obesity. This review evaluates current and future pharmacologic anti-obesity therapy in adults through a kidney-oriented lens. It also explores the goals of anti-obesity treatment, describes the underlying putative mechanisms of action, and raises important scientific questions that deserve further exploration in people with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery has been the most effective treatment modality for morbid obesity that reduces associated comorbidities and improves quality of life. This study aims at evaluating and comparing the impact of two types of bariatric surgery-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB)-on renal functions and urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MPC-1) levels in morbidly obese patients 3 months after surgery. METHODS This is a prospective study of 40 morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Two types of bariatric surgery were done-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) (26 patients) and laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) (14 patients). The outcomes of the two procedures were compared in terms of renal function parameters and the level of urinary MCP-1. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the mean postoperative urinary MCP-1 (73.53 ± 21.25, 75.43 ± 26.17, P > 0.5), microalbuminuria (8.83 ± 6.26, 10.02 ± 8.6, P > 0.05), urinary creatinine (109.21 ± 43.22, 99.19 ± 48.65, P > 0.05), MCP1/Cr ratio (0.78 ± 0.36, 1.01 ± 0.70, P > 0.05), eGFR (100.32 ± 9.54, 104.39 ± 9.54, P > 0.05) in the cases who had either LSG operation or OAGB operation. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery improves all indicators of kidney malfunction and reduces the level of urinary MCP-1. Both laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) cause similar improvement of the renal function and reduction of urinary MCP-1 level.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity, a preventable and reversible condition with a high impact on health, continues to rise, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Severe overweight is well recognized as a risk factor for diabetes and hypertension, among other conditions, that may increase cardiovascular risk. Obesity has grown simultaneously with a rise in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease, and a pathophysiological link has been established, which explains its role in generating the conditions to facilitate the emergence and maximize the impact of the risk factors of chronic kidney disease and its progression to more advanced stages. Knowing the mechanisms involved and having different tools to reverse the overweight and its consequences, bariatric surgery has arisen as a useful and efficient method, complementary or alternative to others, such as lifestyle changes and/or pharmacotherapy. In a detailed review, the mechanisms involved in the renal consequences of obesity, the impact on risk factors, and the potential benefit of bariatric surgery at different stages of the disease and its progression are exposed and analyzed. Although the observational evidence supports the value of bariatric surgery as a renoprotective measure in individuals with obesity, diabetic or not, randomized studies are expected to establish evidence-based recommendations that demonstrate its positive risk-benefit balance as a complementary or alternative therapeutic tool.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment and its estimation (eGFR) is a long-lasting challenge in medicine and public health. Current eGFR formulae are indexed for standardized body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m2, ignoring persons and populations wherein the ratio of BSA or metabolic rate to nephron number might be different, due to increased BSA, increased metabolic rate or reduced nephron number. These equations are based on creatinine, cystatin C or a combination of the two, which adds another confounder to eGFR assessment. Unusually high GFR values, also known as renal hyperfiltration, have not been well defined under these equations. RECENT FINDINGS Special conditions such as solitary kidney in kidney donors, high dietary protein intake, obesity and diabetes are often associated with renal hyperfiltration and amenable to errors in GFR estimation. In all hyperfiltration types, there is an increased intraglomerular pressure that can be physiologic, but its persistence over time is detrimental to glomerulus leading to progressive glomerular damage and renal fibrosis. Hyperfiltration might be underdiagnosed due to BSA standardization embedded in the formula. Hence, timely intervention is delayed. Reducing intraglomerular pressure in diabetes can be achieved by SGLT2 inhibitors or low protein diet to reverse the glomerulopathy process. SUMMARY Accurate identification of glomerular hyperfiltration as a pre-CKD condition needs accurate estimation of GFR in the above normal range should establish a threshold for timely intervention.

Abstract
The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and The Obesity Society (TOS) cosponsored a multispecialty international workshop in April 2021 to advance the understanding and management of obesity in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The underlying rationale for the workshop was the accumulating evidence that obesity is a major contributor to CKD and adverse outcomes in individuals with CKD, and that effective treatment of obesity, including lifestyle intervention, weight loss medications, and metabolic surgery, can have beneficial effects. The attendees included a range of experts in the areas of kidney disease, obesity medicine, endocrinology, diabetes, bariatric/metabolic surgery, endoscopy, transplant surgery, and nutrition, as well as patients with obesity and CKD. The group identified strategies to increase patient and provider engagement in obesity management, outlined a collaborative action plan to engage nephrologists and obesity medicine experts in obesity management, and identified research opportunities to address gaps in knowledge about the interaction between obesity and kidney disease. The workshop's conclusions help lay the groundwork for development of an effective, scientifically based, and multidisciplinary approach to the management of obesity in people with CKD.

Abstract
Obesity represents an independent risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to specific histopathological alterations, known as obesity-related glomerulopathy. Bariatric surgery is the most effective means of inducing and maintaining sustained weight loss. Furthermore, in the context of bariatric-surgery-induced weight loss, a reduction in the proinflammatory state and an improvement in the adipokine profile occur, which may also contribute to the improvement of renal function following bariatric surgery. However, the assessment of renal function in the context of obesity and following marked weight loss is difficult, since the formulas adopted to estimate glomerular function use biomarkers whose production is dependent on muscle mass (creatinine) or adipose tissue mass and inflammation (cystatin-c). Thus, following bariatric surgery, the extent to which reductions in plasma concentrations reflect the actual improvement in renal function is not clear. Despite this limitation, the available literature suggests that in patients with hyperfiltration at baseline, GFR is reduced following bariatric surgery, whereas GFR is increased in patients with decreased GFR at baseline. These findings are also confirmed in the few studies that have used measured rather than estimated GFR. Albuminuria is also decreased following bariatric surgery. Moreover, bariatric surgery seems superior in achieving the remission of albuminuria and early CKD than the best medical treatment. In this article, we discuss the pathophysiology of renal complications in obesity, review the mechanisms through which weight loss induces improvements in renal function, and provide an overview of the renal outcomes following bariatric surgery.

Estimation of glomerular filtration rate for drug dosing in patients with very high or low body mass index. Clin Transl Sci 2022; 15:2206-2217. [PMID: 35751390 PMCID: PMC9468571 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
An accurate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is essential in drug dosing. This study demonstrates the limitations of indexed (ml/min/1.73 m2 ) and de-indexed (ml/min) eGFR based drug dosing in patients with obesity or underweight. This systematic study aimed to determine the most appropriate approach to estimate the GFR for standardized eGFR based drug dosing in these patients. (Raw) data of 12 studies were selected to investigate the accuracy and bias of both the indexed and de-indexed estimations of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI), and of the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) in patients with obesity or underweight. Accuracy was calculated as the proportion of eGFR values within 30% of the measured GFR (P30) using an inert tracer (e.g., iohexol, inulin, 51 Cr-EDTA, or iothalamate clearance). An accuracy of at least 80% was considered acceptable. GFR values estimated with the CG, MDRD, and CKD-EPI differ significantly within a patient with obesity or underweight regardless of whether it is indexed or de-indexed. All studies, with two exceptions, show that all three equations are inaccurate for patients with underweight or class II obesity (P30: 55%-94%). De-indexing eGFR improves not or modestly the accuracy, and mostly remains below the 80% (P30: 62%-100%). CG was highly inaccurate in obese and underweight patients (P30: 7%-82%). Although these results show that CG is obsolete, the accuracy of MDRD and CKD-EPI is low in patients with obesity or underweight and de-indexing is not the solution. Better education and more accurate methods for appropriate drug dosing (e.g., measured GFR with inert tracer, therapeutic drug monitoring, or 24-h creatinine clearance) are recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is an independent risk factor for renal injury. A more favorable metabolic environment following weight loss may theoretically lead to improved renal function. We aimed to evaluate the evolution of renal function one year after sleeve gastrectomy in a large prospective cohort of patients with morbid obesity and assess the influence of fat-free mass (FFM) changes. METHODS We prospectively included obese patients admitted for sleeve gastrectomy between February 2014 and November 2016. We also included a historical observational cohort of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy between January 2013 and January 2014 who had FFM evaluation. Patients were systematically evaluated 1 year after surgery. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. The FFM was estimated by analyzing computerized tomography (CT) scan sections from CT systematically performed 2 days and 1 year after sleeve gastrectomy to detect surgery complications. RESULTS Five hundred sixty-three patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 41.2 ± 0.5 years. The mean body mass index was 43.5 ± 0.3 kg/m2 and 20.4, 30.5, and 30.7% of the included patients had type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, respectively. One hundred fifteen patients were excluded and four hundred forty-eight patients were finally included in the analysis. The eGFR was significantly higher 1 year after sleeve gastrectomy than before surgery (87.8 ± 0.9 versus 86.1 ± 0.9, p < 0.01). There was no difference in terms of post-surgery FFM loss between patients with an improved eGFR and those without (6.7 ± 0.3 kg versus 6.8 ± 0.5 kg, p = 0.9). Furthermore, post-surgery changes in the eGFR did not correlate with the amount of FFM loss (r = 0.1, p = 0.18). CONCLUSION Renal function assessed by eGFR is significantly improved at 1-year post-sleeve gastrectomy, independent of changes in skeletal muscle mass.

Nephrology (Carlton) 2022; 27:673-680. [PMID: 35681274 DOI: 10.1111/nep.14077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
AIM Obesity is associated with glomerular hyperfiltration which may precede the development of overt renal damage. Few studies evaluated the link between inflammasome signalling and hyperfiltration. The aim is to evaluate the relationship between IL1-β/Caspase-1, insulin sensitivity and hyperfiltration in subjects with severe obesity, before and after weight loss. METHODS Forty-six patients with BMI > 35 kg/m2 , without type-2-diabetes or hypertension, were evaluated at baseline and 6 months after bariatric surgery with oral glucose tollerance test, bioimpedance analysis and blood tests. The eGFR was calculated according to EPIcr-cys formula and insulin sensitivity by Oral Glucose Insulin Sensitivity. IL-1β/Caspase-1 were measured with the ELISA-kit. HF was defined as eGFR ≥ 140 ml/min (non-indexed for BSA). RESULTS Sixteen subjects at baseline had hyperfiltration, with a higher insulin resistance, BMI, lean mass and plasma levels of IL-1β/Caspase-1. After surgery, there was a reduction in BMI and improvement in insulin resistance in all patients. However, in 8 of 16 patients hyperfiltration persisted and IL-1β/Caspase-1 levels did not decrease (3.22 ± 0.79 vs. 3.13 ± 1.03 and 23.7 ± 12.1 vs. 20.6 ± 9.1, pre vs. post, pg/ml), while cytokines normalized in all the other patients in parallel with the eGFR. In a logistic regression model, correcting for the main covariates, lean mass and IL-1β before surgery (p = .01 and p = .03, respectively), were the only predictors of hyperfiltration. CONCLUSION Weight loss is effective in reducing hyperfiltration in most, but not all patients. Hyperfiltration remains unchanged in subjects who do not have a reduction in IL-1β/Caspase-1, suggesting a pathogenetic role of the inflammasome signalling in the early stages of nephropathy.

Abstract
Prepubertal obesity (PPO) has emerged as a major health problem over the past few decades and is a risk factor for the development of proteinuria. The current study investigated whether the development of renal injury in the obese SSLepR mutant strain occurs before puberty. When determining the temporal changes in serum sex hormones in female and male SS and SSLepR mutant rats between 4 and 10 wk of age, we only observed significant increases in estradiol and testosterone levels in female and male SS rats at 10 wk of age than at 4 wk of age. The results suggest that studying both strains between 4 and 8 wk of age is appropriate to study the effects of PPO on renal injury in this model. Proteinuria was significantly higher in SSLepR mutant rats as opposed to the values observed in SS rats at 8 wk of age, and we did not observe any sex differences in proteinuria in either strain. The kidneys from the SSLepR mutant rats displayed significant glomerular and tubular injury and renal fibrosis versus the values measured in SS rats without any sex differences. Overall, we observed increased immune cell infiltration in the kidneys from SSLepR mutant rats compared with SS rats. Interestingly, female SSLepR mutant rats displayed significant increases in not only M1 macrophages (proinflammatory) but also M2 macrophages (anti-inflammatory) versus male SSLepR mutant rats. These results suggest the SSLepR mutant rat may be a useful model to study early progression of obesity-related renal injury before the onset of puberty.

Abstract
Circulating blood is filtered across the glomerular barrier to form an ultrafiltrate of plasma in the Bowman's space. The volume of glomerular filtration adjusted by time is defined as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and the total GFR is the sum of all single-nephron GFRs. Thus, when the single-nephron GFR is increased in the context of a normal number of functioning nephrons, single glomerular hyperfiltration results in 'absolute' hyperfiltration in the kidney. 'Absolute' hyperfiltration can occur in healthy people after high protein intake, during pregnancy and in patients with diabetes, obesity or autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease. When the number of functioning nephrons is reduced, single-nephron glomerular hyperfiltration can result in a GFR that is within or below the normal range. This 'relative' hyperfiltration can occur in patients with a congenitally reduced nephron number or with an acquired reduction in nephron mass consequent to surgery or kidney disease. Improved understanding of the mechanisms that underlie 'absolute' and 'relative' glomerular hyperfiltration in different clinical settings, and of whether and how the single-nephron haemodynamic and related biomechanical forces that underlie glomerular hyperfiltration promote glomerular injury, will pave the way toward the development of novel therapeutic interventions that attenuate glomerular hyperfiltration and potentially prevent or limit consequent progressive kidney injury and loss of function.

Changes in Kidney Fat upon Dietary-Induced Weight Loss. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14071437.

Abstract
As the metabolic role of kidney fat remains unclear, we investigated the effects of dietary weight loss on kidney fat content (KFC) and its connection to kidney function and metabolism. Overweight or obese participants (n = 137) of a dietary intervention trial were classified into quartiles of weight loss in a post hoc manner. Kidney sinus (KSF) and cortex fat (KCF) were measured by magnetic resonance imaging at baseline, week 12 and week 50. Weight loss effects on KFC were evaluated by linear mixed models. Repeated measures correlations between KFC, other body fat measures and metabolic biomarkers were obtained. KSF, but not KCF, decreased significantly across weight loss quartiles at week 12 (quartile 4: -21.3%; p = 0.02) and 50 (-22.0%, p = 0.001), which remained significant after adjusting for VAT. There were smaller improvements regarding creatinine (-2.5%, p = 0.02) at week 12, but not week 50. KSF, but not KCF, correlated with visceral (rrm = 0.38) and subcutaneous fat volumes (rrm = 0.31) and liver fat content (rrm = 0.32), as well as diastolic blood pressure and biomarkers of lipid, glucose and liver metabolism. Dietary weight loss is associated with decreases in KSF, but not KCF, which suggests that KSF may be the metabolically relevant ectopic fat depot of the kidney. KSF may be targeted for obesity-related disease prevention.

Abstract
Spot determinations of the urine creatinine concentration are widely used as a substitute for 24-hour urine collections. Expressed as the amount excreted per gram of creatinine, urine concentrations in a single-voided sample are often used to estimate 24-hour excretion rates of protein, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, urea, and uric acid. These estimates are predicated on the assumption that daily creatinine excretion equals 1 gm (and that a urine creatinine concentration of 100 mg/dl reflects a 1 Liter 24-hour urine volume). Such estimates are invalid if the serum creatinine concentration is rising or falling. In addition, because creatinine excretion is determined by muscle mass, the assumption that 24-hour urine creatinine excretion equals 1 gm yields a misleading estimate at the extremes of age and body size. In this review we evaluate seven equations for the accuracy of their estimates of urine volume based on urine creatinine concentrations in actual and idealized patients. None of the equations work well in patients who are morbidly obese or in patients with markedly decreased muscle mass. In other patients, estimates based on a reformulation of the Cockroft-Gault equation are reasonably accurate. A recent study based on this relationship found a high strength of correlation between estimated and measured urine output with chronic kidney disease (CKD) studied in the African American Study of Kidney Disease (AASK) trial and for the patients studied in the CKD Optimal Management with Binders and NictomidE (COMBINE) trial. However, the equation systematically underestimated urine output in the AASK trial. Hence, an intercept was added to account for the bias in estimated output. A more rigorous equation, derived from an ambulatory Swiss population, that includes body mass index and models the non-linear accelerated decline in creatinine excretion with age, could potentially be more accurate in overweight and elderly patients. In addition to extremes of body weight and muscle mass, decreased dietary intake or reduced hepatic synthesis of creatine, a precursor of creatinine, or ingestion of creatine supplements will also result in inaccurate estimates. These limitations must be appreciated to rationally use predictive equations to estimate urine volume. If the baseline urine creatinine concentration is determined in a sample of known volume, subsequent urine creatinine concentrations will reveal actual urine output as well as the change in urine output. Given the constraints of the various estimating equations, a single baseline timed collection may be more useful strategy for monitoring urine volume than entering anthropomorphic data into a calculator.

Abstract
Obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG) and other obesity-associated kidney diseases pose a major challenge to the treating nephrologist. We review the benefits of weight loss and optimal management of ORG and kidney disease in the setting of obesity. Therapeutic strategies in ORG were limited mainly in the past to weight loss through lifestyle interventions and bariatric surgery, antihypertensive treatment, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade. Current approaches to obtain the desired weight loss include novel pharmacologic therapies that have been approved for the treatment of diabetes while offering kidney protection, such as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1-receptor agonists. This review focuses on the nephroprotective role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade and of these new pharmacologic agents, and on the renal effects of bariatric surgery in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are interrelated in a complex manner, and their coexistence predisposes patients to a plethora of medical problems. Metabolic surgery has evolved as a promising therapeutic option for both conditions. It is recommended that patients, particularly those of Asian origin, maintain a lower body mass index threshold in the presence of uncontrolled DM. However, several comorbidities often accompany these chronic diseases and need to be addressed for successful surgical outcome. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are the most commonly used bariatric procedures worldwide. The bariatric benefits of RYGB and LSG are similar, but emerging evidence indicates that RYGB is more effective than LSG in improving glycemic control and induces higher rates of long-term DM remission. Several scoring systems have been formulated that are utilized to predict the chances of remission. A glycemic target of glycated hemoglobin < 7% is a reasonable goal before surgery. Cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, nutritional, and psychological optimization of surgical candidates improves perioperative and long-term outcomes. Various guidelines for preoperative care of individuals with obesity have been formulated, but very few specifically focus on the concerns arising from the presence of concomitant DM. It is hoped that this statement will lead to the standardization of presurgical management of individuals with DM undergoing metabolic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The effect of bariatric surgery in renal function varies and the postoperative benefit time point remains unclear. We aim to assess the changes of renal function after bariatric surgery (BS) in different postoperative periods and subgroups. METHODS We searched the databases of PubMed and Cochrane from inception to December 14, 2020. Articles included in the study were drawn from all recipients of BS that provided assessments of renal function pre and post-surgery. Meta-analysis was performed to compare glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum creatinine, albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), and albuminuria before and after BS. RESULTS The study included 49 articles involving 8515 patients. Compared with pre-operative renal function, the overall analysis showed that bariatric surgery significantly reduced serum creatinine levels, ACR, and albuminuria. There was significant increase of GFR in the CKD subgroup, yet a noticeable decrease in the hyperfiltration subgroup. The most significant improvement in GFR was seen 6-12 months after BS, while ACR dropped most dramatically 12-24 months after BS. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery can improve renal function in obese patients with kidney dysfunction, especially 1 year after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity and diabetes mellitus are now leading causes of chronic kidney disease. Our study investigated the effects of bariatric surgery on estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) and urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in morbidly obese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical materials for patients who underwent bariatric surgery were retrospectively analyzed with a 6-month follow-up period between January 1, 2018, and June 1, 2020. The eGFR (ml/min) was calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula equation. The urinary ACR was measured during the follow-up. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), percent weight loss (%WL), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded during the follow-up. RESULTS Sixty-one patients who underwent bariatric surgery-laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB; n = 22) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG; n = 39)-were included in this study. The eGFR of both groups decreased at the follow-up outpatient visits (p < 0.001), although eGFR did not differ between the two groups. Unexpectedly, the ACR increased in the first month after LSG (p < 0.01) but decreased with a descending trend with no significant difference (p > 0.05) throughout the remaining follow-up period. Interestingly, ACR showed a descending trend with no significant difference during the follow-up in the LRYGB group (p > 0.05). The SBP and DBP decreased after bariatric surgery, with no significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery is associated with improvements in postoperative renal function 6 months following surgery. The different alterations in ACR following LSG and LRYGB procedures demonstrate the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is known to attenuate glomerular hyperfiltration over the long term and thereby protect the kidney from mechanical damage. Whether this effect is directly related to weight loss or is independent of weight as are some of its other beneficial metabolic effects is not known. We explored this question in a preliminary study that directly measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) before, immediately after, and again many months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass after large weight loss had occurred. We simultaneously measured stimulated circulating glucagon-like peptide-1, which is upregulated after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and is a putative mediator of GFR after bariatric surgery. We found no weight-independent effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on GFR nor an association between circulating GLP-1 levels and GFR. These findings, if confirmed in larger studies, will help steer future enquiries in this area.

Abstract
Obesity is a leading public health problem that currently affects over 650 million individuals worldwide. Although interest in the adverse effects of obesity has grown exponentially in recent years, less attention has been given to studying its management in individuals with CKD. This relatively unexplored area should be considered a high priority because of the rapid growth and high prevalence of obesity in the CKD population, its broad impact on health and outcomes, and its modifiable nature. This article begins to lay the groundwork in this field by providing a comprehensive overview that critically evaluates the available evidence related to obesity and kidney disease, identifies important gaps in our knowledge base, and integrates recent insights in the pathophysiology of obesity to help provide a way forward in establishing guidelines as a basis for managing obesity in CKD. Finally, the article includes a kidney-centric algorithm for management of obesity that can be used in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE There are limited data on the impact of bariatric surgery on microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly diabetic neuropathy. We assessed microvascular complications (especially neuropathy) in obese patients with T2D before and 12 months after bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective observational cohort study. Measurements of neuropathy symptom profile (NSP), neuropathy disability score (NDS), vibration (VPT), cold (CPT) and warm (WPT) perception thresholds, nerve conduction studies (NCS) and corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) to quantify corneal nerve fibre density (CNFD), branch density (CNBD) and fibre length (CNFL); urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (uACR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcyst-creat) and retinal grading were taken. RESULTS Twenty-six (62% female; median age 52 years) obese patients with T2D were recruited. Body mass index (BMI) (47.2 to 34.5 kg/m2; p < 0.001) decreased post-operatively. There were improvements in CNFD (27.1 to 29.2/mm2; p = 0.005), CNBD (63.4 to 77.8/mm2; p = 0.008), CNFL (20.0 to 20.2/mm2; p = 0.001), NSP (3 to 0/38; p < 0.001) and eGFRcyst-creat (128 to 120 ml/min; p = 0.015) post-bariatric surgery. Changes in (Δ) triglycerides were independently associated with ΔCNFL (β = - 0.53; p = 0.024) and Δsystolic blood pressure (β = 0.62;p = 0.017), and %excess BMI loss (β = - 0.004; p = 0.018) were associated with ΔeGFRcyst-creat. There was no significant change in NDS, VPT, CPT, WPT, NCS, uACR or retinopathy status. Glomerular hyperfiltration resolved in 42% of the 12 patients with this condition pre-operatively. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery results in improvements in small nerve fibres and glomerular hyperfiltration in obese people with T2D, which were associated with weight loss, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure, but with no change in retinopathy or uACR at 12 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improvements in kidney function post-bariatric surgery may be related to weight loss-independent effects. OBJECTIVES To characterize the dynamic relationship between body mass index (BMI) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before and after bariatric surgery in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). SETTING Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) health system. METHODS We conducted an observational, retrospective cohort study of patients with CKD stage 3 or higher who received bariatric surgery at the KPSC health system between 2007-2015. Bariatric surgery procedures included primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedures. Outcomes consisted of mean trajectory estimates and correlations of BMI and eGFR taken between 2 years before and 3 years after surgery. Multivariate functional mixed models were used to estimate how BMI and eGFR trajectories evolved jointly. RESULTS A total of 619 RYGB and 474 SG patients were included in the final analytic sample. The measurements were available before surgery for a median time of 1.9 years for SG and 1.8 years for RYGB patients. Median follow-up times after surgery were 2.8 years for both SG and RYGB patients. The mean age at the time of surgery was 58 years; 77% of patients were women; 56% of patients were non-Hispanic White; the mean BMI was 44 kg/m2; 60% of patients had diabetes mellitus; and 84% of patients had hypertension. Compared to the presurgery eGFR declines, the postsurgery declines in eGFR were 57% slower (95% credible interval [CrI], 33%-81%) for RYGB patients and 55% slower (95% CrI, 25%-75%) for SG patients. The mean correlation between BMI and eGFR was negligible at all time points. CONCLUSION Though bariatric surgery slowed declines in eGFR up to 3 years after surgery, changes in eGFR tracked poorly with changes in BMI. This study provides evidence that the kidney-related benefits of bariatric surgery may be at least partly independent of weight loss. Confirming this hypothesis could lead to mechanistic insights and new treatment options for CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major public health with increasing numbers of obese individuals are at risk for kidney disease. However, the validity of serum creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations in obese population is yet to be determined. METHODS We evaluated the performance of the reexpressed Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), reexpressed MDRD with Thai racial factor, Thai estimated GFR (eGFR) as well as Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations among obese patients, defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 with the reference measured GFR (mGFR) determined by 99mTc-diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) plasma clearance method. Serum creatinine levels were measured using standardized enzymatic method simultaneously with GFR measurement. The statistical methods in assessing agreement for continuous data including total deviation index (TDI), concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), and coverage probability (CP) for each estimating equation were compared with the reference mGFR. Accuracy within 10% representing the percentage of estimations falling within the range of ±10% of mGFR values for all equations were also tested. RESULTS A total of 240 Thai obese patients were finally recruited with mean BMI of 31.5 ± 5.8 kg/m2. In the total population, all eGFR equations underestimated the reference mGFR. The average TDI values were 55% indicating that 90% of the estimates falling within the range of -55 to +55% of the reference mGFR. The CP values averaged 0.23 and CCC scores ranged from 0.75 to 0.81, reflecting the low to moderate levels of agreement between each eGFR equation and the reference mGFR. The proportions of patients achieving accuracy 10% ranged from 23% for the reexpressed MDRD equation to 33% for the Thai eGFR formula. Among participants with BMI more than 35 kg/m2 (n = 48), the mean error of all equations was extremely wide and significantly higher for all equations compared with the lower BMI category. Also, the strength of agreement evaluated by TDI, CCC, and CP were low in the subset of patients with BMI ≥35 kg/m2. CONCLUSION Estimating equations generally underestimated the reference mGFR in subjects with obesity. The overall performance of GFR estimating equations demonstrated poor concordance with the reference mGFR among individuals with high BMI levels. In certain clinical settings such as decision for dialysis initiation, the direct measurements of GFR are required to establish real renal function among obese population.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Evaluation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is challenging in adults undergoing bariatric surgery because creatinine and cystatin C levels are influenced by changes in muscle and fat mass. Additionally, indexing of GFR by body surface area (BSA) may by affected by decreases in BSA. Study Design Prospective observational study. Setting & Participants 27 adults with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2 who underwent measurement of GFR before and after bariatric surgery. Outcomes Indexed and nonindexed GFRs measured (mGFRs) using plasma iohexol clearance, indexed and nonindexed estimated GFR (eGFR) based on levels of creatinine, cystatin C, or both from Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations. Analytic Approach Bias and percent of estimates within 20% and 30% of mGFR (P20 and P30) for estimating equations were examined. Results Mean presurgery BMI was 49.5 (SD, 9.4) kg/m2, BSA was 2.42 (SD, 0.27) m2, nonindexed mGFR was 117.3 (SD, 34.1) mL/min, and indexed mGFR was 84.1 (SD, 22.0) mL/min/1.73 m2. After 6 months, mean BMI changed by –13.8 (95% CI, −15.9 to −11.8) kg/m2, BSA by −0.30 (95% CI, −0.33 to −0.27) m2, and nonindexed mGFR by −9.2 (95% CI, −17.2 to −1.1) mL/min, while indexed mGFR was unchanged at 5.1 (95% CI, −0.1 to 10.4) mL/min/1.73 m2. Nonindexed eGFRcr was unbiased (median bias, 5.0 [95% CI, −4.3 to 11.6] mL/min) before surgery, but overestimated mGFR (8.8 [95% CI, 1.8 to 16.9] mL/min) after surgery. Nonindexed eGFRcys underestimated mGFR before (median bias, −12.1 [95% CI, −21.4 to −1.2] mL/min) and after surgery (−11.2 [95% CI, −21.8 to −7.3] mL/min). Nonindexed eGFRcr-cys was unbiased before (median bias, −6.0 [95% CI, −11.0 to 1.0] mL/min) and after surgery (−2.0 [95% CI, −8.8 to 4.9] mL/min). Findings were similar for indexed eGFR compared with indexed mGFR. Limitations Small, mostly white sample. Conclusions Changes in indexed and nonindexed GFRs may be discordant after bariatric surgery in adults because of decreases in BSA. Indexed and nonindexed eGFRcr-cys may be less biased than indexed or nonindexed eGFRcr or eGFRcys because of opposite biases in estimating mGFR.

The Short-Term Renal Effects of Bariatric Surgery: A Comparative Study Between Sleeve Gastrectomy and One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Operations Among Egyptian Patients With Severe Obesity. Obes Surg 2020; 30:4494-4504. [PMID: 32700183 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-020-04841-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2020] [Revised: 06/30/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is a major health problem with many renal sequelae. Bariatric surgery (BS) has become the treatment of choice for severe obesity. This study was conducted to assess the short-term renal effects of BS and to compare such effects between two distinct forms of BS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single-center non-randomized prospective observational study was conducted on 57 patients with severe obesity. Two distinct forms of BS have been performed; laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). Anthropometric measurements, 24-h urinary creatinine clearance (CLCr), protein and oxalate excretion, and abdominal fat tissue analysis by computerized tomography were performed prior to surgery and 6 months later. RESULTS LSG and OAGB were performed in 47 and 10 participants, respectively. BS resulted in pronounced reduction of body mass index (- 27.1% ± 7.11), with no substantial weight loss discrepancy between LSG and OAGB. The median percent change in 24-h urinary CLCr and protein and oxalate excretion were - 35.7, - 42.2, and - 5.8, respectively. The median (IQR) percent change of urinary oxalate excretion was - 11.1 (- 22.6, - 1.4) and 113.08 (82.5, 179.7) for LSG and OAGB, respectively (p < 0.001). The subcutaneous abdominal fat surface area has been found to be the significant predictor of the persistence of glomerular hyperfiltration after BS. CONCLUSION Both LSG and OAGB can alleviate many of the obesity-related pathological renal changes. However, postoperative hyperoxaluria remains a serious issue particularly in OAGB. Detailed radiological abdominal fat tissue analysis by CT may aid in predicting the renal outcome following BS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Through its direct adverse effects on the kidney and via associated intermediate disease states like type 2 diabetes and hypertension, obese has arguably become the master risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate bariatric surgery, which is the most effective weight reduction strategy available, as a renoprotective strategy. RECENT FINDINGS Recent randomized studies confirm that bariatric surgery is effective at improving or even remitting major CKD risk factors such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. In addition, observational studies performed primarily in patients without preexisting CKD report improvements in estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria after bariatric surgery. Yet this literature is limited by study design, participant selection, statistical power, and measurement issues that must be overcome to better define kidney-related benefits, especially with regard to harder kidney-related and other clinical endpoints. SUMMARY Encouraging data exist on the renoprotective effects of bariatric surgery. However, important knowledge gaps still remain. Future research should focus on studying, ideally in randomized fashion, the renoprotective effects of bariatric surgery in patients with preexisting CKD to better define the benefit-risk ratio for each patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of obesity, glucose tolerance, and weight loss on renal function, we measured serum creatinine and cystatin C and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) indexed to 1.73m2 body surface area (BSA) and GFR indexed to actual BSA in subjects with normal and abnormal glucose tolerance before and up to 2 years after medical weight loss. METHODS We studied 146 subjects at baseline and 3-to-6 months after 18% reduction in weight; 43 were also studied at 2-years. GFR was estimated using the MDRD, CKD-EPICr, CKD-EPICysCr, and the CKD-EPICys equations. RESULTS eGFR was consistently lower when creatinine-based rather than cystatin C-based estimating equations were used. eGFR was lower when creatinine-based or cystatin C-based equations were indexed to 1.73m2 BSA than when they were indexed to actual BSA. eGFR indexed to actual BSA was more likely to demonstrate hyperfiltration (eGFR ≥135 ml/min) than eGFR indexed to 1.73m2 BSA and decreased into the normal range with weight loss. eGFR was highest in subjects with impaired fasting glucose but there was little difference in the patterns of change in eGFR across groups by glucose tolerance status. CONCLUSIONS With severe obesity, high fat-free mass and BSA result in low estimates of eGFR indexed to 1.73m2 BSA, especially when creatinine-based estimating equations are used. GFR indexed to actual BSA is approximately 50% higher. When eGFR is indexed to actual BSA, many subjects display evidence of renal hyperfiltration which improves with weight loss. In subjects with severe obesity undergoing medical weight loss, estimating equations that use cystatin C and are indexed to actual BSA may provide a more accurate assessment of renal function.

Abstract
It is now established that metabolic surgery (also known as bariatric surgery or obesity surgery) is an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes. Data from several randomized controlled trials have shown that surgery, when used as an adjunct to best medical therapy, is superior to medical therapy alone in achieving glycaemic and metabolic treatment targets in diabetes care. This has resulting in metabolic surgery being recommended as a treatment option for obesity-associated type 2 diabetes in national and international diabetes care guidelines. While the superior glycaemic effect of surgery is clear, the effect of surgery on the complications of diabetes is not fully understood. There are observational and epidemiological data that indicate a preventative effect in cohorts who do not have complications at baseline, as well as a positive effect on those with established diabetic kidney disease. However, there is a dearth of randomized controlled studies that specifically examine the effect of surgery on the complications of diabetes. Therefore, we should remain cautious in some cases, especially in those with retinopathy or neuropathy, as there is potential for deterioration of disease post-operatively. Further study is needed on this important topic. A lot is known, but there remain several unanswered questions. This article summarizes what we know about the effect of metabolic surgery on the complications of diabetes, poses some unanswered questions, and suggests how we could answer them.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Morbid obesity is associated with a higher independent risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been evaluated in a limited number of study participants with severe obesity. METHODS A total of 706 measured GFR (mGFR) results from 598 participants with obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 ) were retrospectively collected. The performance of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation, and deindexed eGFR were compared with mGFR from the gold standard technique (inuline or iohexol), adjusted (mGFRr) or nonadjusted (mGFR) to body surface area. Absolute bias, precision, and accuracy were calculated. RESULTS Mean mGFRr (58 ± 31 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) was significantly different from CKD-EPI and MDRD (P < 0.001). Mean mGFR (nonindexed) (70 ± 40 mL/min) was significantly higher than mGFRr (P < 0.001). eGFR showed important biases and low accuracies for CKD-EPI and MDRD (10.7 ± 10.7 and 12.2 ± 13.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 ; 78% vs. 75% respectively). Deindexation worsened bias and accuracy 30% (percentage of GFR estimates within 30% of mGFRr or mGFR) between eGFR and mGFR. CONCLUSIONS eGFR overestimates mGFR and is associated with important biases and inaccuracies in patients with severe obesity, and deindexing eGFR worsens the overestimation. These findings may have important implications in examining kidney function in patients with obesity.

Can J Kidney Health Dis 2019; 6:2054358119884903. [PMID: 31695923 PMCID: PMC6820179 DOI: 10.1177/2054358119884903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2019] [Accepted: 09/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Obesity is recognized as an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease through multiple direct and indirect biological pathways. Bariatric surgery is a proven, effective method for sustained weight loss. However, there is a relative paucity of data on the impact of bariatric surgery on renal outcomes. Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate the change in urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, at 12 months after the procedure. Secondary objectives were to determine the changes in ACR at (6 and 24 months), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; 6, 12, and 24 months), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c); 12 and 24 months) after the procedure. Design: This observational retrospective cohort study included consecutive obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Setting: Provincial Bariatric Surgery Clinic at the Regina General Hospital, Saskatchewan. Patients: This study includes 471 consecutive obese adult patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2008 and 2015. Measurements: We studied the impact of bariatric surgery on body mass index (BMI), renal outcomes (urine ACR and eGFR) and metabolic outcomes (fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and HbA1c) in 471 patients. Methods: Patients were followed for 2 years postsurgery in the bariatric clinic. Mixed linear models that accounted for the repeated nature of the data were used to access changes in outcomes over time. Results: Patients were predominantly female (81%) with a mean age (±SD) of 46 ± 10 years. Most patients (87%) had a BMI > 40 kg/m2 and 81% of the patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The mean BMI decreased from 47.7 ± 7.8 kg/m2 at baseline to 37.1 ± 7.9 kg/m2 at 6 months and 34.8 ± 8.8 kg/m2 at 12 months. In a subcohort of patients with microalbuminuria, ACR showed an improvement from a median [interquartile] value of 5.1 [3.7-7.5] mg/mmol at baseline to 2.3 [1.2-3.6] mg/mmol at 6 months (P = .007), to 1.4 [0.9-3.7] mg/mmol at 2-year follow-up (P < .001). Similarly, eGFR increased in patients with microalbuminuria from 109 ± 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 at baseline to 120 ± 36 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 2-year follow-up (P = .013). There were statistically significant reductions in triglycerides, fasting glucose, and HbA1c. Limitations: This was a retrospective chart review, with the lack of a control group. Patients with eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were not considered for surgery, and we had to measure renal outcomes predominantly on the presence of proteinuria. Conclusions: Our results suggest bariatric surgery significantly decreased weight and consequently improved renal and metabolic outcomes (eGFR, ACR, fasting glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides) in patients with elevated BMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Although promising, data regarding the renal impact and safety of bariatric surgery (BS) are insufficient. We aimed at investigating the benefits and harms of BS for weight loss on kidney function. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies reporting data about the impact of BS (any techniques) on serum/plasma creatinine, creatinine clearance, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), proteinuria, nephrolithiasis, and need for renal replacement therapy (RRT)) was performed. Obese adults (non-chronic kidney disease (CKD), CKD or transplanted patients) that underwent BS for weight loss were included. After searching MEDLINE (inception to August 2017), the Cochrane Library (Issue 10-12, October 2017), and the websiteclinicaltrials.gov (August 2017), data were extracted and summarized using a random-effects model. RESULTS The final analysis included 23 cohort studies, comprising 3015 participants. Compared with renal function before treatment, BS significantly decreased serum creatinine level (mean difference (MD), - 0.08 mg dl-1; 95% confidence interval (CI), - 0.10 to - 0.06); p < 0.001) and proteinuria (MD, - 0.04 g 24 h-1; 95% CI, - 0.06 to - 0.02; p < 0.001) in the overall group. GFR significantly improved 6 months or more after BS both in the hyperfiltration and CKD subgroups. Renal function also tended to improve in renal transplant patients. Data on nephrolithiasis and the need for RRT were scarce or not reported. CONCLUSIONS BS apparently has positive effects on kidney function and tends to normalize GFR across different categories of renal impairment (hyperfiltration and CKD patients).

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The association between bariatric surgery, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is poorly understood. We studied whether remission of type 2 diabetes induced by bariatric surgery influences markers of kidney disease, if CKD is associated with remission of diabetes after bariatric surgery, and if baseline levels of gut hormones and peptides modify these associations. STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational study. STUDY PARTICIPANTS 737 bariatric surgery patients with type 2 diabetes who participated in a multicenter cohort study for up to 5 years. PREDICTORS Demographics, blood pressure, medications, type of bariatric surgery, anthropometrics, markers of kidney disease, and circulating levels of gut hormones and peptides. OUTCOMES Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin excretion, prognostic risk for CKD, and remission of diabetes. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Linear mixed models for eGFR; generalized linear mixed models with logit link for albuminuria, prognostic risk for CKD, and diabetes remission. RESULTS Remission of diabetes at 5 years post-bariatric surgery was not independently associated with eGFR but was associated with lower risk for moderate/severe increase in albuminuria (risk ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.48-0.90) and stabilization in prognostic risk for CKD. These findings were modified by baseline ghrelin level. Lower preoperative eGFR and greater prognostic risk for CKD were independently associated with reduced likelihood of diabetes remission. The association with preoperative GFR was modified by C-peptide level. Higher baseline circulating ghrelin level was independently associated with a lower prognostic risk for CKD. LIMITATIONS A minority of participants had baseline CKD; lack of comparison group; no information on duration of diabetes, other clinical end points, or kidney biopsy results. CONCLUSIONS Remission of type 2 diabetes 5 years after bariatric surgery was associated with improvements in albuminuria and stabilized prognostic risk for CKD, but not with eGFR. Lower kidney function and greater prognostic risk at the time of bariatric surgery was linked to a lower likelihood of diabetes remission. These results highlight the need to identify the mechanisms through which bariatric surgery may delay the long-term progression of CKD in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the methodology of recruitment, retention and data completeness in a prospective cohort recruited after a hospitalised episode of acute kidney injury (AKI), to inform a future prospective cohort study examining the effect of obesity on AKI outcomes. DESIGN Feasibility study. SETTING Single centre, multi-site UK tertiary hospital. PARTICIPANTS 101 participants (67M; 34F) with a median age of 64 (IQR 53-73) years, with and without obesity, recruited within 3 months of a hospitalised episode of AKI. OUTCOME MEASURES Feasibility outcomes were recruitment (>15% meeting inclusion criteria recruited), participant retention at 6 and 12 months (≥80%) and completeness of data collection. Exploratory measures included recovery from AKI (regaining >75% of pre-AKI estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]) at 6 months, development or progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (kidney function decrease of ≥25% + rise in CKD category) at 12 months, and associations with poorer kidney outcomes. RESULTS 41% of eligible patients consented to take part, exceeding the target recruitment uptake rate of 15%. Retention was 86% at 6 months and 78% at 12 months; 10 patients died and three commenced dialysis during the study. Data were 90%-100% complete. Median BMI was 27.9 kg/m2 (range 18.1 kg/m2-54.3 kg/m2). 50% of the cohort had stage 3 AKI and 49% had pre-existing CKD. 46% of the cohort met the AKI recovery definition at 6 months. At 12 months, 20/51 patients developed CKD (39%) and CKD progression occurred in 11/49 patients (22%). Post-AKI interleukin-6 and cystatin-C were associated with 12 months decline in eGFR. CONCLUSIONS Feasibility to conduct a long-term observational study addressing AKI outcomes associated with obesity was demonstrated. A fully powered prospective cohort study to examine the relationships between obesity and outcomes of AKI is warranted.

Abstract
Diabetes and hypertension are the major causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Epidemiological studies within the last few decades have revealed that obesity-associated renal disease is an emerging epidemic and that the increasing prevalence of obesity parallels the increased rate of CKD. This has led to the inclusion of obesity as an independent risk factor for CKD. A major complication when studying the relationship between obesity and renal injury is that cardiovascular and metabolic disorders that may result from obesity including hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, or the cluster of these disorders [defined as the metabolic syndrome, (MetS)] also contribute to the development and progression of renal disease. The associations between hyperglycemia and hypertension with renal disease have been reported extensively in patients suffering from obesity. Currently, there are several obese rodent models (high-fat diet-induced obesity and leptin signaling dysfunction) that exhibit characteristics of MetS. However, the available obese rodent models currently have not been used to investigate the impact of obesity alone on the development of renal injury before hypertension and/or hyperglycemia. Therefore, the aim of this review is to describe the incidence and severity of renal disease in these rodent models of obesity and determine which models are suitable to study the independent effects obesity on the development and progression of renal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among Japanese morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and the impact of bariatric surgery on their renal function has not previously been investigated. OBJECTIVES The aims were to assess the prevalence of CKD patients who underwent bariatric surgery in our institution and to elucidate the impact of bariatric surgery on their kidney function as measured by the estimated glomerular filtration rate by Cystatin-C (eGFRcys). SETTING The setting of the study was in a single private hospital. METHODS Two hundred fifty-four consecutive Japanese patients who underwent bariatric surgery were retrospectively analyzed to elucidate the prevalence of CKD. The eGFRcys was calculated to assess the change in the kidney function for 1 year after surgery. RESULTS The preoperative prevalence of CKD was as follows: G1, 45.3%; G2, 47.2%; G3, 6.5%; and G4, 0.9%. The eGFRcys values before and after surgery were compared; the G1 and G2 patients showed significantly improved eGFRcys values after surgery (G1 101 [94-108] vs 114 [103-127]; G2 79 [74-84] vs 97 [87-104] ml/min/1.73 m2; p < 0.01) with significant weight loss (G1 38.1 ± 6.2 vs 26.5 ± 3.4; G2 38.5 ± 6.9 vs 26.7 ± 3.6 kg/m2; p < 0.01). Although the renal function of G3 patients was not improved after surgery (44 [42-47] vs 45 [43-63] ml/min/1.73 m2; p = 0.08), successful weight loss was achieved (36.1 ± 6.3 vs 26.6 ± 3.6 kg/m2; p < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, postoperative eGFRcys correlated negatively with proteinuria (p < 0.01), age (p < 0.01), and body mass index (p < 0.01) and positively with persistence of antihypertensive drugs. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery resulted in the significant improvement in the eGFRcys values of Japanese patients with morbid obesity, particularly those with pre-CKD (eGFRcys ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2), while the eGFRcys values of CKD patients (< 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) were not ameliorated by surgery.

Abstract
Obesity, including morbid obesity, is a growing worldwide problem. The adverse effect of obesity on the kidneys is associated with the development of comorbid conditions, such as insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS), diabetes mellitus (DM), arterial hypertension (AH), which are the recognized risk factors of chronic kidney disease (СKD). Obesity also causes direct kidney damage with the development of non-immune focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The leading pathophysiological mechanisms of kidney damage in obesity are intrarenal hemodynamic disorders with the formation of hyperfiltration and damaging effects of adipokines produced by adipose tissue. Bariatric surgery (BS) has taken a leading position in the treatment of morbid obesity, demonstrating its effectiveness not only in long-term weight loss, but also in the correction of IR, MS, DM, AH. Nephroprotective effect of significant and persistent weight loss is caused by the elimination of hyperfiltration and damaging effect of adipokines. Results of the observational studies of the immediate and long-term effects of BS have demonstrated positive renal outcomes, in particular, the decrease in albuminuria/proteinuria, the improvement or stabilization of glomerular filtration rate, the delay of end-stage renal failure development; surgical correction of body weight in dialysis patients with morbid obesity lets them realize subsequent kidney transplantation. Large, randomized prospective studies with a longer follow-up are needed; analysis of the long-term renal consequences of BS in obesity patients with pre-existing renal impairment, including dialysis patients, is required; stratification of the BS risk of renal complications (acute kidney damage, nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis) and effective strategy for managing these risks need to be developed.

Abstract
The epidemic of obesity parallels that of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Obesity worsens the course of CKD, mainly defined by an abnormal glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients with severe obesity stages (II and III with body mass index >35 kg/m2) are eligible for bariatric surgery (BS), which is the most efficient method of achieving durable weight loss. BS may reverse glomerular hyperfiltration and albuminuria, improve adipocytokine profile, and relieve diabetes and hypertension. Obesity remission after BS might prevent the progression of renal failure in populations with morbid obesity. However, evidence for the beneficial effect of BS on renal function is scant. This lack of knowledge is mainly due to methodologic reasons, which are addressed in this review. The reversibility of hyperfiltration due to the presence of functional renal reserve hampers the interpretation of changes in true GFR after BS. This true GFR is only obtained with the renal clearance of an exogenous filtration marker. Estimation of GFR is generally provided by prediction equations, namely by modification of diet in renal diseases or by chronic kidney disease-epidemiology collaborative group. These equations are not accurate because the serum levels of both creatinine and cystatin C depend on extrarenal factors, which are modified by BS. Comparing the slopes of measured GFR according to various durations of exposure with morbid obesity would be critical in providing reliable data. Herein, we review the current knowledge on the effects of BS on kidney function; we specify the methodologic issues and particularities of the dietary management of CKD patients to propose reliable directions for future clinical research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic surgery for obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) yields short- and long-term remission rates of 60-90%. Its effects on diabetesassociated complications such as neuropathy and nephropathy have not been well studied to date. Hardly any data are available on this subject with respect to moderately obese patients (body mass index [BMI] 25-35 kg/m2) with insulin-dependent T2D. Our previous studies suggest that, in such patients, treatment with a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) improves diabetic neuropathy. In this pilot study, we investigate the course of diabetic nephropathy after RYGB surgery. METHODS 20 insulin-dependent patients whose T2D was inadequately controlled with medication, and whose BMI was in the range 25-35 kg/m2, were prospectively included in a pilot study. All patients underwent a standardized RYGB operation. Blood and urine tests for renal function were performed before surgery and 12 and 24 months afterward. RESULTS The serum creatinine level fell from 0.82 ± 0.23 to 0.69 ± 0.13 mg/dL (p = 0.0025) in the first 12 months after surgery and was unchanged a further 12 months later. The glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rose in the first 24 months after surgery from 96.4 ± 28.7 to 111.7 ± 23.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 (p = 0.0093). The urinary albumin/creatinine and high-molecular-weight adiponectin/creatinine ratios fell markedly in the first 24 months after surgery (2.89 ± 3.14 versus 1.00 ± 0.24 mg/mmol [p = 0.0491] and 0.18 ± 0.06 versus 0.04 ± 0.01 μg/g [p = 0.0392]). CONCLUSION RYGB has positive effects on renal function and may therefore be a good treatment option for moderately obese, insulin-dependent patients whose T2D cannot be adequately controlled with medication. These results still need to be confirmed in randomized, controlled trials with longer periods of followup.

Abstract
Obesity is linked to the development and progression of CKD, but whether bariatric surgery protects against CKD is poorly understood. We, therefore, examined whether bariatric surgery influences CKD risk. The study included 2144 adults who underwent bariatric surgery from March of 2006 to April of 2009 and participated in the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 Study cohort. The primary outcome was CKD risk categories as assessed by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) consortium criteria using a combination of eGFR and albuminuria. Patients were 79% women and 87% white, with a median age of 46 years old. Improvements were observed in CKD risk at 1 and 7 years after surgery in patients with moderate baseline CKD risk (63% and 53%, respectively), high baseline risk (78% and 56%, respectively), and very high baseline risk (59% and 23%, respectively). The proportion of patients whose CKD risk worsened was ≤10%; five patients developed ESRD. Sensitivity analyses using year 1 as baseline to minimize the effect of weight loss on serum creatinine and differing eGFR equations offered qualitatively similar results. Treatment with bariatric surgery associated with an improvement in CKD risk categories in a large proportion of patients for up to 7 years, especially in those with moderate and high baseline risk. These findings support consideration of CKD risk in evaluation for bariatric surgery and further study of bariatric surgery as a treatment for high-risk obese patients with CKD.

Abstract
As the prevalence of obesity continues to increase worldwide, an increasing number of people are at risk for kidney disease. Thus, there is a critical need to understand how best to assess kidney function in this population, and several challenges exist. The convention of indexing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to body surface area (BSA) attempts to normalize exposure to metabolic wastes across populations of differing body size. In obese individuals, this convention results in a significantly lower indexed GFR than unindexed GFR, which has practical implications for drug dosing. Recent data suggest that "unindexing" estimated GFR (multiplying by BSA/1.73 m2) for drug dosing may be acceptable, but pharmocokinetic data to support this practice are lacking. Beyond indexing, biomarkers commonly used for estimating GFR may induce bias. Creatinine is influenced by muscle mass, whereas cystatin C correlates with fat mass, both independent of kidney function. Further research is needed to evaluate the performance of estimating equations and other filtration markers in obesity, and determine whether unindexed GFR might better predict optimal drug dosing and clinical outcomes in patients whose BSA is very different than the conventional normalized value of 1.73 m2.
