“…As highlighted by Johnson et al (4), noted in Table 1, and referenced in a review article of bariatric surgery and microvascular complications by Jackson et al (3), a number of recently reported studies (many of which were small and uncontrolled) demonstrated favorable outcomes in renal function markers following bariatric/metabolic surgery in patients with or without the presence of impaired renal function before their bariatric surgery (68,70,75–78,83–86). Finally, patients who are waiting for or who have had renal transplantation experienced improved renal function following bariatric surgery (80,87,90–92), and a few bariatric surgery studies demonstrated varying degrees of improvement in neuropathy and ophthalmic outcomes (4,71,79,81,82,88,93).…”
