Pre-Transplant Obesity and Post-Transplant Chronic Kidney Disease: Time-Dependent Effect of Kidney Transplantation

摘要

Obesity is associated with worsening kidney allograft function. Since kidney allograft function may rapidly change throughout the course of kidney transplantation, particularly during early post-transplant period, we aim to examine association between pre-transplant obesity and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) over several time points during post-transplant periods.
