Estudio del impacto del índice de masa corporal pretrasplante sobre el pronto funcionamiento del injerto renal. AbstractIntroduction: Obesity and overweight have adverse health effects contributing to the presence of oxidative metabolic and cardiovascular diseases that threaten the integrity of the graft. Objective: To investigate the infl uence of body mass index on pre transplant graft function one year after transplant by studying four different methods of measuring the glomerular fi ltration rate. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 1336 kidney transplant patients of both sexes, measurements were performed pre transplant and post transplant of biochemical parameters, anthropometric measurements and kidney function by glomerular fi ltration steps. Results: When an increased body mass index pretransplant occurs, there is a decrease in glomerular fi ltration rate measured by four different methods and greater percentage of rejections. Conclusions: A high body mass index pretransplant contributes to graft dysfunction, a decrease in glomerular fi ltration rate and graft complications in the fi rst year after transplant.
