Impact of Endoscopic Bariatric and Metabolic Therapies on Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Impaired Glycemic Control
摘要
Obesity and diabetes are established risk factors for renal function decline. While medical and surgical weight loss therapies have demonstrated reno-protective effects, the impact of endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMTs) on renal function remains unknown.
MethodsA retrospective observational study was conducted in consecutive adult patients with impaired glycemic control and CKD who underwent EBMTs (primary and revision procedures) at a tertiary care center. The primary outcome was the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 12 months. Secondary outcomes included percent total weight loss (%TWL), the proportion of patients achieving ≥5% and ≥10% TWL, change in hemoglobin A1 C (HbA1C), and severe adverse event (SAE) rate. Pre- and post-intervention outcomes were compared using paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Linear regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of change in eGFR following EBMTs.
ResultsMean age and BMI were 56 ± 12 years and 40.0 ± 7.5 kg/m2, respectively (n = 70). At 12-months, the change in eGFR was not significant, increasing from 71.5 ± 13.6 ml/min/1.73m2 to 73.2 ± 17.6 ml/min/1.73m2 (Δ1.1 ± 11.5 ml/min/1.73m2, p = 0.53), and HbA1C significantly decreased by -0.5 ± 1.2% (p = 0.01). Mean %TWL was 13.4 ± 9.9%. A ≥5% TWL and ≥10% TWL were achieved in 70.0% and 51.4% of patients, respectively. On linear regression analysis, ≥10% TWL was associated with significant improvement in eGFR adjusting for age, sex, baseline BMI, diabetes status, CKD stage, and GLP-1RA use (β = 5.8, 95% CI: 0.4–11.2, p = 0.04). The SAE rate was 1.43%.
ConclusionEBMTs appear to stabilize kidney function in patients with impaired glycemic control and CKD, with ≥10% TWL associated with significant improvement in eGFR.
