The relationship between kidney function and body mass index before and after bariatric surgery in patients with chronic kidney disease.

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
