    In addition, in few instances reporting bias and defects of randomization could not be excluded. Fourteen trials [23–36] compared BS with MT. For the principal endpoint, the visual analysis of Funnel plot and Egger's test, but not Kendall's tau, suggested a publication bias in favor of MS (Fig. 4S). BS was associated with a significantly lower endpoint BMI in comparison with MT, with high heterogeneity (Fig. 1, panel A).

    While no other randomized trial has tested the effects of diet and exercise on circulating adipokines in CKD, a small study in which six obese individuals with advanced diabetic nephropathy underwent a 12-week very low-calorie ketogenic weight reduction diet with encouragement of exercise reported an improvement in metabolic profile [25]. Similarly, a randomized controlled study of sleeve gastrectomy versus best medical care in obese patients with stages 3–4 CKD found that the intervention increased serum adiponectin at 12 months [26]. Among a small cohort of 25 kidney transplant recipients and 15 age-matched non dialysis patients with CKD stage 3 who participated in a 12-week supervised exercise program with short cell phone text reminds, serum adiponectin increased substantially in the transplant group but not among those with CKD [27].

  • The impact of sleeve gastrectomy on renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease varies with severity of renal insufficiency

    Citation Excerpt :

    Based on previous findings, we hypothesized LSG would lead to improvement in renal function in all patients but potentially greater in early stages of CKD. However, a randomized control trial with a limited number of patients with CKD stage 3 and 4 found that eGFR, when adjusted for weight, did not improve after surgery compared with patients who did not undergo surgery [23]. On the contrary, Imam et al. [2] performed a retrospective review of patients with various stages of CKD who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or LSG and found that patients who underwent surgery had overall higher eGFR than matched controls who did not undergo surgery.
