Diabetic nephropathy: changes after diabetes surgery?
Nutrición Hospitalaria : Organo Oficial de la Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral 2013 March
INTRODUCTION: Obesity, as a central piece inside metabolic syndrome, is associated with early chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition, several observational, cross sectional, and longitudinal studies have demonstrated that obesity is as an independent risk factor for the onset, aggravated course, and poor outcomes of CKD including diabetic nephropathy. This implies that when obesity is reversed, many CKD risk factors and CKD itself could be favorably influenced. So all measures aimed at weight loss are recommended to minimize risks from obesity-related conditions and generate improvements in the metabolic profile. Recent evidence shows that bariatric surgery (BS) can revert or improve proteinuria and CKD in morbidly obese patients.
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: The present review is aimed to provide the evidence regarding the beneficial effects of weight loss after BS in different stages of CKD including kidney transplant recipients, with an special focus on the beneficial effect in reducing or improving proteinuria and renal failure. Furthermore, this updated systematic review of the literature analyzes potential adverse effects that BS could induce not only on renal function but also on morbidity and mortality risk in perioperative and postoperative period.
CONCLUSIONS: Results from the different case reports, meta analysis as well as systematic review of clinical trials show that obesity treatment by way of lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapies and BS can reduce proteinuria and help to prevent loss of renal function. Also BS may reduce complications, and allow obese patients with end-stage renal disease to undergo kidney transplantation with good results.
