Effect of bariatric surgery on obesity-related glomerulopathology / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

With the development of social economy, people’s eating habits and lifestyle are gradually changing, resulting in a higher and higher incidence of obesity. Obesity related glomerulopathology, as a chronic complication, has attracted more and more attention. The mechanism of the kidney injury induced by obesity is complex, and there is no reliable treatment at present, so it has become a hot spot in basic research and a difficult point in clinical work. In recent years, the bariatric metabolic surgery has benefited many severely obese patients and achieved good weight loss results. This paper will sum up the main types and advantages of metabolic surgery, summarize the role and mechanism of metabolic surgery in reducing proteinuria and improving renal function, and look forward to its future development direction.
