Article Synopsis
- * Findings show that 20.6% of participants were obese, with a CKD prevalence of 20.5% among the obese compared to 14% in those with a normal body mass index (BMI).
- * The risk of CKD increases significantly with higher obesity classifications and is exacerbated when obesity is coupled with MS, highlighting the need for tailored prevention and treatment strategies for CKD in obese individuals.
Background: Data on the long-term mortality and morbidity of living kidney donors are scarce. In the general population, coronary artery calcification (CAC) and progression of CAC are predictors of future cardiac risk. We conducted a study to determine the progression of CAC in renal transplant donors.

This cross-sectional study included adult (>18 years) outpatients and in patients with chronic kidney disease as well as healthy volunteers. Iohexol clearance was measured and the precisions and bias of the various estimation equations were calculated.
