Negative Impact of Obesity on Dialysis Efficiency: A Prospective Cohort on Lebanese CKD Patients |Biomedgrid

Background: Obesity is considered as a risk factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD), as it may worsen renal complications and progress to advanced stages of the disease. Aims: To investigate whether the efficacy of dialysis is affected in obese CKD patients. Methods: we followed the main biological factors in dialysis patients for six months. Patients were grouped based on their sexes and body mass indexes (obese, or normal-weighted) and blood samples measurements were performed before and after dialysis.
