ABSTRACT
Abstract Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic, and its prevalence has been projected to grow by 40% in the next decade. This increasing prevalence has implications for the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and also for Chronic Kidney Disease. A high body mass index is one of the strongest risk factors for new-onset Chronic Kidney Disease. In individuals affected by obesity, a compensatory hyperfiltration occurs to meet the heightened metabolic demands of the increased body weight. The increase in intraglomerular pressure can damage the kidneys and raise the risk of developing Chronic Kidney Disease in the long-term. The incidence of obesity-related glomerulopathy has increased ten-fold in recent years. Obesity has also been shown to be a risk factor for nephrolithiasis, and for a number of malignancies including kidney cancer. This year the World Kidney Day promotes education on the harmful consequences of obesity and its association with kidney disease, advocating healthy lifestyle and health policy measures that makes preventive behaviors an affordable option.
Resumen La obesidad se ha convertido en una epidemia mundial, y se ha proyectado que su prevalencia se incrementará en un 40% en la próxima década. Esta creciente prevalencia supone implicaciones tanto para el riesgo de desarrollo de diabetes y enfermedades cardiovasculares como para el desarrollo de Enfermedad Renal Crónica. Un elevado índice de masa corporal es uno de los factores de riesgo más importantes para el desarrollo de Enfermedad Renal Crónica. En individuos afectados por la obesidad, tiene lugar una hiperfiltración compensatoria necesaria para alcanzar la alta demanda metabólica secundaria al aumento del peso corporal. El incremento de la presión intraglomerular puede generar daño renal y elevar el riesgo de desarrollar Enfermedad Renal Crónica a largo plazo. La incidencia de glomerulopatía asociada a obesidad se ha incrementado 10 veces en los últimos años. Así mismo se ha demostrado que la obesidad es un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de nefrolitiasis y un número de neoplasias, incluyendo cáncer renal. Este año, el Día Mundial del Riñón promueve la educación a cerca de las consecuencias nocivas de la obesidad y su asociación con la enfermedad renal, abogando por un estilo de vida saludable y la implementación de políticas públicas de salud que promuevan medidas preventivas alcanzables.

Resumo A obesidade tornou-se uma epidemia mundial, e foi projetado que sua prevalência irá crescer em 40% na próxima década. Esta crescente prevalência tem implicações para com o risco de diabetes, doenças cardiovasculares e também para a doença renal crônica. Um índice de massa corporal elevado é um dos mais fortes fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de doença renal crônica. Em indivíduos afetados pela obesidade ocorre uma hiperfiltração compensatória, para atender às elevadas exigências metabólicas do aumento de peso corporal. O aumento da pressão intraglomerular pode prejudicar os rins e aumentar o risco do desenvolvimento de doença renal crônica a longo prazo. A incidência de glomerulopatia relacionada à obesidade aumentou dez vezes nos últimos anos. A obesidade também mostrou ser um fator de risco para nefrolitíase, e para uma série de tumores malignos, incluindo câncer renal. Este ano, o Dia Mundial do Rim promove orientações sobre as consequências prejudiciais da obesidade e sua associação com a doença renal, defendendo estilos de vida saudáveis e políticas de saúde que tornam comportamentos preventivos uma opção acessível.
