The impact of chronic kidney disease on peri-operative outcomes following bariatric surgery: An analysis of the MBSAQIP Participant Use Data File

Background: Morbid obesity is considered a strong independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), and bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment for obesity-related comorbidities. Previous large database analyses have suggested that CKD does not independently increase the risk of adverse outcomes following bariatric surgery. The safety of elective bariatric surgery in this patient population remains unclear. We compared 30-day outcomes in this patient population after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or gastric bypass (LGB).
