Weight-Management Services for Patients With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease in Canada: A Survey of Nephrologists.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Kidney doctors across Canada were surveyed about the weight-management help available to people with advanced kidney disease. Extra weight is common alongside kidney disease, and it raises the risk of high blood sugar, faster kidney decline, and being turned down for a transplant. The survey describes which centres offer these services and where the gaps are. It shows a link between where a person is treated and what help they can get, not proof that losing weight changes kidney outcomes.
