Remission and progression of pre-existing micro- and macroalbuminuria over 15 years after bariatric surgery in Swedish Obese Subjects study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bariatric surgery reduces incidence of albuminuria and end-stage renal disease in patients with obesity. Effects of bariatric surgery on long-term remission and progression of pre-existing obesity-related renal damage are mainly unexplored. Here we investigate the long-term effects of bariatric surgery compared with conventional obesity care on remission and progression of albuminuria.

Methods

4047 patients were included in the Swedish Obese Subjects study. Inclusion criteria were age 37-60 years, BMI ≥ 34 kg/m² in men and BMI ≥ 38 kg/m² in women. Our analysis comprised 803 patients (19.8% of total population, 357 control, 446 surgery) with pre-existing albuminuria including 693 patients (312 control, 381 surgery) with microalbuminuria, and 1
