Nutritional Considerations for Patients with End Stage Renal Disease Undergoing Metabolic Surgery

Obesity is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as it contributes to or accelerates the progression of kidney disease in this at-risk population and is frequently a barrier to kidney transplantation. Patients with renal failure have unique dietary needs due to various metabolic disturbances resulting from altered processing and clearance of nutrients. They also frequently present with physical disability, resulting in difficulty achieving adequate weight loss through lifestyle modifications.
