DIABETES REMISSION RATE IN DIFFERENT BMI GRADES FOLLOWING ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS

Diabetes Remission Rate in Different Bmi Grades following Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus has a high long-term remission rate after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), but few studies have analyzed patients with BMI<35 kg/m2. AIM To compare glycemic control after LRYGB between BMI 30-35 kg/m2 (intervention group or IG) and >35 kg/m2 patients (control group or CG) and to evaluate weight loss, comorbidities and surgical morbidity. MET...

Changes in B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and BMI Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Obesity and attendant complications including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension (HTN), and heart disease are worldwide epidemics with incompletely understood associations. Mechanisms underlying the association of HTN and obesity include upregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system, insulin resistance, and adipose tissue activity, but a paradoxically ...

Reconciliation of Type 2 Diabetes Remission Rates in Studies of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

OBJECTIVE Bariatric surgery may induce remission of type 2 diabetes in obese patients. However, estimates of remission rates reported in the literature range from 25 to 81%, contributing to the uncertainty patients and physicians both face as they assess treatment options. This analysis attempts to reconcile the seemingly disparate rates of diabetes remission reported in studies of Roux-en-Y ga...

Kidney stone risk following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery

Since the first report in 2005, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery has been linked to a variety of metabolic changes that alter kidney stone risk. The studies with the highest level of evidence, performed in non-stone forming patients before and after RYGB, cite a number of kidney stone risk factors, including a 25% increase in urinary oxalate, a 30% decrease in urinary citrate, and reduct...
