Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability of a kidney to efficiently work is altered in obesity. Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes. However, this risk extends to those who are free from diabetes, demonstrating that obesity per se contributes to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Several studies have established that obesity is linked with increased risk of developing CKD.
Some pathophysiology mechanisms that may contribute to kidney dysfunction have been described, such as inflammation and abnormal lipid metabolism. Dietary composition may have an influence in this problem, improving biomarkers like inflammation, lipid profile, arterial hypertension, etc. In addition, a healthy lifestyle has been associated with lower BMI values, and consequently, lower risk of obesity. Medical treatments for obesity and CKD are available in 2023.
In this Special Issue, we invite research papers focusing on the dietary approaches, food composition, and/or patterns of food intake that influence kidney function. Articles that shed light on how these factors can modulate obesity-linked CKD and their associated pathologies are welcome
