Normal-weight obesity and clinical outcomes in nondiabetic chronic kidney disease patients: a cohort study.

Conclusions: NWO was associated with the worst prognosis among the 3 different adiposity phenotypes in nondiabetic CKD patients. Our findings suggest the importance of using direct measures of adiposity for risk assessment in CKD patients who are normal-weight. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03285074.
