Metabolic and Bariatric Operation and the Path to Kidney Transplantation
MBS significantly improves access to kidney transplantation and long-term survival for obese patients with ESRD. Patients who underwent MBS demonstrated notable improvements in cardiovascular health, potentially leading to a better quality of life and survival. These findings suggest that MBS should be considered as part of the comprehensive care for this high-risk population.
