Unravelling the Obesity Paradox Through Bariatric Surgery

To the Editor We thank Sheetz et al for their work in determining whether bariatric surgery (BS) is associated with improved long-term survival among patients with obesity with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). They found that BS was associated with a lower all-cause mortality rate at 3, 5, and 7 years postoperatively when compared with the nonsurgical group.
