Obesity and Cardio-Metabolic Health in Kidney Disease: Implications for Kidney Health, Risk Stratification, and Management.

Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a review article, not a new study. It explains how extra body weight harms kidneys directly, by making the filters work too hard and raising pressure inside them, and indirectly through diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. It also covers how doctors sort patients by risk and manage weight once kidney disease is present. There are no new results here.
