Obesity and recovery from acute kidney injury (Ob AKI): a prospective cohort feasibility study

Abstract: ObjectivesTo test the methodology of recruitment, retention and data completeness in a prospective cohort recruited after a hospitalised episode of acute kidney injury (AKI), to inform a future prospective cohort study examining the effect of obesity on AKI outcomes.DesignFeasibility study.SettingSingle centre, multi-site UK tertiary hospital.Participants101 participants (67M; 34F) with a median age of 64 (IQR 53–73) years, with and without obesity, recruited within 3 months of a hospitalised episode of AKI.Ou… Show more

“…Obese patients were also at higher risk of cardiovascular events. These patients are exposed to a chronic inflammatory state and high level of baseline pro-inflammatory cytokines which could contribute to higher morbidity [35][36][37]. The findings are consistent with other studies of trauma patients [3,28,38].…”

“…This study explicitly examined how body mass index may modify the risk of further kidney damage after an episode of AKI. In a small feasibility study, obesity was not associated with the relative risk of CKD development or progression 12 months after AKI [ 39 ]. The present study extends the follow up time beyond 12 months, and adds to the literature on the role of BMI on CKD outcomes after AKI.…”
