July 7th: Effects of metabolic surgery on early stage diabetic kidney disease

Metabolic surgery is an established option for the treatment of medically uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. So far, all previous randomized controlled trials had glucocentric endpoints. Diabetic nephropathy is one of the main complications in patients with diabetes, and albuminuria is a proxy for cardiovascular events and mortality. Furthermore, diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of dialysis and kidney replacement.  A recently published study found that gastric bypass surgery is as safe as the best pharmacotherapy, and significantly more effective in achieving remission of albuminuria and early-stage CKD in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity (BMI 30 to 35). At the two-year follow-up, remission of both albuminuria and early-stage CKD was achieved in 82% of surgical patients versus 55% (albuminuria) and 48% (CKD) in pharmacotherapy patients. Surgery was as safe as the best medical treatment.

These findings point to a new treatment paradigm to reverse or prevent chronic kidney disease progression in patients with diabetes and obesity.

Three of the world’s leading specialists in the field will provide a comprehensive review of another milestone in the treatment of diabetes and its complications, considering metabolic and bariatric treatment as a potentially better option than medical management.
