Recent evidence has suggested obesity as an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease. However, the temporal relation between body mass index (BMI) and early renal dysfunction is unknown. This study aimed at evaluating whether longitudinal variations in BMI would reflect on changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in hypertensive individuals with excess body weight.This was a...
Obesity is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. The association between different indexes of obesity and CKD is unknown. This study evaluated the association between indexes of obesity and CKD.We reviewed 4611 participants including 2613 men and 1998 women in this community-based cross-sectional study from 2003 to 2005.
