The effects of weight loss on renal function in patients with severe obesity.

چکیده
Severe obesity is associated with increased renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The aim of the present study was to examine whether weight loss may reverse glomerular dysfunction in obese subjects without overt renal disease. Renal glomerular function was studied in eight subjects with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] 48.0 +/- 2.4) before and after weight loss. Nine healthy subjects served as controls. GFR and RPF were determined by measuring inulin and PAH clearance. In the obese group, GFR (145 +/- 14 ml/min) and RPF (803 +/- 39 ml/min) exceeded the control value by 61% (90 +/- 5 ml/min, P = 0.001) and 32% (610 +/- 41 ml/min, P < 0.005), respectively. Consequently, filtration fraction was increased. Mean arterial pressure, although normal, was higher than in the control group (101 +/- 4 versus 86 +/- 2 mmHg, P < 0.01). After weight loss, BMI decreased by 32 +/- 4%, to 32.1 +/- 1.5 (P = 0.001). GFR and RPF decreased to 110 +/- 7 ml/min (P = 0.01) and 698 +/- 42 ml/min (P < 0.02), respectively. Albumin excretion rate decreased from 16 microg/min (range, 4 to 152 microg/min) to 5 microg/min (range, 3 to 37 microg/min) (P < 0.01). Fractional clearance of albumin decreased from 3.2 x 10(-6) (range, 1.1 to 23 x 10(-6)) to 1.2 x 10(-6) (range, 0.5 to 6.8 x 10(-6)) (P < 0.02). This study shows that obesity-related glomerular hyperfiltration ameliorates after weight loss. The improvement in hyperfiltration may prevent the development of overt obesity-related glomerulopathy.

Introduction: Chronic renal failure causes impairment of all body organs including heart and lungs. Main problem in these patients are pulmonary edema due to increased permeability of capillaries, intravascular and interstitial volume overload, hypertension and heart failure. These changes cause altered physiologic and mechanical function of lungs. The objective of this study is evaluating the ...

Total abstention from food and water from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan, is practiced by hundreds of millions of Muslims throughout the world. This pattern of fasting during Ramadan is different from the usual fasting as people are allowed to eat and drink between sunset and dawn but not after dawn. The amount and type of food (rich in protein, fat and sugar) eaten during the n...

متن کاملEffect of exogenous leptin on serum levels of lipids, glucose, renal and hepatic variables in both genders of obese and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Objective(s): Leptin exerts various effects on appetite and body weight. Disruption of the obesitygene is precedent to fatness. Insulin or glucose elevates leptin, but streptozotocin reduces it. However, controversial data exist for the effects of leptin on diabetes and leptin level in each gender. Leptin can damage the kidney function but little evidence exists for its hepatic effects. The aim...
