Obesity and renal cancer
Epidemiological studies link obesity, as measured by increased body mass index (BMI) to the incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as well as to the cancer-related mortality of RCC patients. RCC is the third cancer most robustly associated with increased BMI. Understanding the role of the adipose tissue in renal carcinogenesis is therefore of major importance for the development of novel parad...
متن کاملRenal Transplantation and Morbid Obesity
The most common method for defining obesity is based on BMI (i.e., a person’s weight [kilograms] divided by the square of his or her height [meters]). The World Health Organization (WHO) considers a BMI between 20 and 25 kg/m2 as normal weight, a BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m2 as overweight, and a BMI of 30 kg/m2 as obese. The National Institutes of Health defined morbid obesity as a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m...
متن کاملObesity in renal transplantation
a. We recommend that obesity should not on its own preclude a patient from being considered for kidney transplantation (1B). b. As a pre-transplant Body Mass Index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2 may not be associated with a survival advantage compared to remaining on dialysis, we suggest that the suitability for transplant be carefully assessed on an individual basis (2C). c. As patient and graft survival of...
متن کاملObesity and outcome following renal transplantation.
Single institution series have demonstrated that obese patients have higher rates of wound infection and delayed graft function (DGF), but similar rates of graft survival. We used UNOS data to determine whether obesity affects outcome following renal transplantation. From the UNOS database, we identified patients who underwent primary kidney-only transplantation between 1997 and 1999. Recipient...
متن کاملAdverse renal consequences of obesity.
Emerging evidence indicates that obesity, even in the absence of diabetes, contributes significantly to the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Glomerular hyperfiltration/hypertrophy in response to the increased metabolic needs of obesity are postulated to lead to the development of glomerulosclerosis (GS) in a manner analogous to that in reduced renal mass states. Neve...
