Bariatric Surgery Is Protective Against Renal Function Decline in Severely Obese Patients in the Long-Term.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the long-term renal effects of bariatric surgery (BS) in severely obese patients over a follow-up period of up to 11 years.

Materials And Methods: In a retrospective cohort study including 102 patients, patients were stratified by eGFR at baseline and divided into three groups: (1) reduced, (2) normal, and (3) increased filtration rate. Adjustments for age- and sex-related decline in eGFR were performed.

Development of Obesity-Associated Comorbidities Post Bariatric Surgery with a Special Focus on Diabetes Remission and Short-Term Relapse.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to study a heterogeneous group of obese patients undergoing Bariatric surgery(BS) and its impact on glycemic control. Secondary endpoints include changes in lipid profile and albuminuria. BS has shown to effectively reduce body-weight.
