Relatie tussen obesitas en CKD: conclusies van een KDIGO-conferentie

Obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are complex diseases that are interlinked directly and indirectly. In October 2024, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) held a Controversies Conference on the Relationship Between Obesity and CKD: Pathophysiology, Prognosis, and Management. The goals of the conference were to examine the most recent evidence regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of obesity and CKD as well as to articulate priorities for research. A key conference theme was increasing the awareness of obesity-related CKD.
