Description
Background and objectives Obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG) is an increasing cause of end-stage renal disease, but evidence concerning the effects of treatments is rather limited. This study was aimed at exploring the renoprotective effects of weight loss on patients with ORG. Design, setting, participants, & measurements A total of 63 patients with renal biopsy–proven ORG had food and exercise intervention in the physician-supervised weight loss program and were divided into three groups on the basis of the percentage of weight change from baseline to follow-up: significant weight loss (>3% reduction in body mass index [BMI]), stable weight, or significant weight gain (>3% increase). Metabolic parameters and renal lesions were evaluated regularly for 2 years.
