Impact of bariatric surgery on kidney function of diabetic patients

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the main risk factor for Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD). With the increased prevalence of obesity in recent decades, the incidence of CKD has exponentially increased. Our goal in this study is to demonstrate how bariatric surgery affects glomerular filtration rate in T2DM patients and compare it with non-diabetic patients.
