Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass is an effective bridge to kidney transplantation: Results from a single center

Body mass index (BMI) > 35‐40 kg/m2 is often a contraindication, while Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is performed to enable kidney transplantation. This single‐center retrospective study evaluated pre‐ and post‐transplant outcomes of 31 morbidly obese patients with end‐stage renal disease havin...

Description
Summary:Body mass index (BMI) > 35‐40 kg/m2 is often a contraindication, while Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is performed to enable kidney transplantation. This single‐center retrospective study evaluated pre‐ and post‐transplant outcomes of 31 morbidly obese patients with end‐stage renal disease having RYGB before kidney transplantation between July 2009 and June 2014. Fourteen RYGB patients were subsequently transplanted. Nineteen recipients not having GB with a BMI ≥ 36 kg/m2 at transplantation were used as historical controls. Mean BMI (±SE) before RYGB was 43.5 ± 0.7 kg/m2 (range: 35.4‐50.5 kg/m2); 87.1% (27/31) achieved a BMI
