Risk factors associated with weight gain after kidney transplantation: A cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal transplantation is the best modality of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, it is associated with weight gain and metabolic abnormalities, which adversely impact transplant outcomes.

Objective

The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors of one-year weight gain after renal transplantation.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 374 patients that underwent kidney transplantation between January 2006 and July 2013. Clinical and laboratory variables were collected from electronic records, and the outcome of interest was weight gain during the first year after renal transplantation.
