BACKGROUND: In the last 10 years, severe obesity and the associated metabolic syndrome have reached pandemic proportions and consequently have significantly increased the prevalence of related co-morbidities such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). One in 7 people in the United States have CKD, and 90% of those are not aware of it.

OBJECTIVES: Following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in patients with severe obesity and baseline CKD stage ≥2, to determine improvement of glomerular function and analyze the relationship between kidney function and weight loss.

SETTING: US Hospital, Academic Institution.

METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients who underwent SG at our institution from 2010 to 2019. Kidney function assessment using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration Study (CKD-EPI) equation and classification was carried out preoperatively and postoperatively at 12-months follow-up. Propensity score matching (1:1 ratio) was used to balance the distribution of covariates between patients with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and patients with normal kidney function.

RESULTS: We calculated the eGFR of 1330 bariatric patients who underwent SG. Of these patients, 18.79% (n = 250) met the criteria for CKD-EPI eGFR calculation preoperatively and at 12-months follow-up after SG. From the 250 patients included in the analysis, 42% (n = 105) were classified as CKD stage ≥2. When comparing the baseline preoperative eGFR at 12-months follow-up after SG, we observed an improvement of 8.26 ± 11.89 mL/min/1.73 m2 in CKD stage ≥2 (eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2) as compared with 1.98 ± 10.25 mL/min/1.73 m2 in patients with eGFR >90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P < .001).

CONCLUSION: There is short-term improvement of the eGFR in patients with severe obesity following SG. This improvement is significant in CKD stages ≥2 and seems unrelated to weight loss.
