Approaches to patients with obesity and CKD: focus on nutrition and surgery
Obesity is recognized as a public health challenge. During the last three decades, the global age-standardized prevalence increased from 8.8% to 18.5% in women and from 4.8% to 14.0% in men, with an absolute current number of 878 million obese subjects. Obesity significantly increases <i>per se</i> the risk of developing disability and chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Specifically, obesity acts as a major, modifiable cause of CKD onset and progression toward kidney failure; as such, it is considered by the International Society of Nephrology a major health priority. This review analyses the effectiveness, safety and practicability of non-pharmacological anti-obesity interventions in CKD as the different patient phenotypes that may take advantage of personalized approaches.
