We report a case of this complication and its consequences, in a patient who had undergone bariatric surgery, with a very high creatine kinase (CK) concentration, and whose renal function failed. Obesity causes a range of effects on all major organ systems. Knowledge of these effects and issues specific to t...
متن کاملShort-term cardiometabolic risk reduction after bariatric surgery.
INTRODUCTION Clinically severe obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) 40 kg/m2, increases cardiovascular risk and results in elevated mortality. The objective of this study was to examine the short-term health benefits after bariatric surgery. Using commonly recognized scoring systems, we assessed the shortterm reduction of calculated cardiometabolic risk following bariatric surgery. MET...

Bariatric surgery has serious associated medical comorbidity and procedure-related risks and is thus considered an intermediate- to high-risk noncardiac surgery. Most patients referred for bariatric surgery have a low or very low functional capacity, making cardiac risk assessment imperative. Stress echocardiography has a high negative predictive value and can avoid some of the table weight and...
متن کاملRisk for Hospital Readmission following Bariatric Surgery
