Obesity is a significant risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), contributing to kidney damage through metabolic, hemodynamic, and inflammatory pathways. Excess body weight accelerates the progression of kidney dysfunction and increases the risk of related complications.Increased Glomerular Pressure: Obesity elevates blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate, leading to kidney stress.Metabolic Impact: Insulin resistance and dyslipidemia associated with obesity worsen kidney function.
Inflammation: Chronic low-grade inflammation from adipose tissue contributes to renal injury.Progression Risk: Obesity accelerates CKD progression and increases the likelihood of cardiovascular complications.Management Strategies:Weight reduction through balanced diet and regular physical activity.Monitoring and controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid levels.Early screening for kidney function in individuals with obesity.Addressing obesity is essential to prevent CKD onset and progression, improvingoverall health outcomes.
