Glomerular enlargement correlated with body mass index is a distinct characteristic of obesity-related glomerulopathy

چکیده
uch attention has been paid to proteinuria and renal dysfunction in obese people without diabetes mellitus (DM) as obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG). The Adults Treatment Panel III (ATP) of the National Cholesterol Education Program, based on data in the United States, defined obesity as a body mass index (BMI) of ≥30 kg/m; however, the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity reported that obesity is adequately specified as a BMI of ≥25 kg/m in Japan for Asians. And a modified version of ATPIII-BMI 25, which defined obesity as a BMI of ≥25, in the Japanese population was comparable to the original ATPIII in a white population for the determination of metabolic syndrome. Japanese people with a BMI of 23.0-24.9 also had higher risks for obesity-associated disorders. Original Contribution Kitasato Med J 2013; 43: 111-118

Glomerulopathy Associated With Moderate Obesity
Introduction Obesity-related glomerulopathy is an established secondary glomerular disease that may occur in obese individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥30 kg/m2. However, patients with moderate obesity (BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2) may also develop this disease. Methods A total of 20 patients with grade 1 obesity (25 ≤ BMI < 30 kg/m2) with persistent proteinuria, without evidence of other renal di...
متن کاملLow glomerular density with glomerulomegaly in obesity-related glomerulopathy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Obesity-related glomerulopathy is a secondary form of glomerular disease that may occur in obese individuals. It is histologically characterized by marked glomerulomegaly closely related to glomerular hyperfiltration. This study examined glomerular density (nonsclerotic glomerular number per renal cortical area of biopsy specimen) in patients with obesity-related glome...
