Agbaedeng TA, Iroga PE, Rathnasekara VM, Zacharia AL. Adipokines and stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis of disease risk and patient outcomes. Obes Rev 2024; 25:e13684. [PMID: 38291816 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
Obesity is reported to increase stroke risk, with adipocyte-derived cytokines or adipokines implicated as mediators. However, the relationship between adipokines and stroke is not well clarified. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association of adipokines with stroke using fully adjusted risk estimates that incorporated body mass index in a meta-analysis. Data from 52 studies (62,428 patients) were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis. Adiponectin was independently associated with a lower risk of pre-existing stroke (adjusted odds ratio: 0.64 [95% confidence interval: 0.46-0.88], p < 0.01), whereas leptin (1.08 [1.00-1.17], p = 0.04), resistin (1.06 [1.04-1.08], p < 0.01) and visfatin (1.04 [1.01-1.07], p = 0.01) are associated with a higher risk of stroke, but none with incident stroke. Adipokines independently associated with an ischaemic stroke subtype were adiponectin (0.48 [0.30-0.77], p < 0.01), leptin (1.10 [1.01-1.20], p = 0.04), and resistin (1.06 [1.04-1.08], p < 0.01). Fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP-4) independently predicted 6-month poor functional outcomes in stroke patients (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.09 [1.06-1.12], p < 0.01); whereas both FABP-4 (1.17 [1.03-1.34], p = 0.01) and visfatin (1.24 [1.00-1.55], p = 0.05) were predictive of 6-month mortality. Adipokines are associated with a greater risk of pre-existing stroke, but not with the relationship with incident stroke. Adipokines, such as FABP-4 and visfatin, may serve as biomarkers of stroke severity and worsening of stroke outcomes.

Abstract
Obesity is a leading risk factor for the development and progression of kidney disease and a major barrier to optimal management of patients with chronic kidney disease. While in the past anti-obesity drugs offered only modest weight loss efficacy in exchange for various safety and tolerability risks, a wave of safer, more tolerable, and more effective treatment options is transforming the management of obesity. This review evaluates current and future pharmacologic anti-obesity therapy in adults through a kidney-oriented lens. It also explores the goals of anti-obesity treatment, describes the underlying putative mechanisms of action, and raises important scientific questions that deserve further exploration in people with chronic kidney disease.

A 5-year propensity-matched analysis of perioperative outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing bariatric surgery. Surg Endosc 2023; 37:2335-2346. [PMID: 36401102 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09756-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery can improve renal function in patients with comorbid chronic kidney disease (CKD) and obesity. Additionally, bariatric surgery can enhance outcomes following renal transplantation. The safety of bariatric surgery in patients with CKD has been debated in the literature. This study evaluates the frequency of perioperative complications associated with CKD. METHODS The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database was queried from 2015-2019. Patients were included if they had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and were stratified based on CKD status. An unmatched and propensity-matched analysis was performed comparing 30-day perioperative outcomes between the groups. RESULTS A total of 717,809 patients included in this study, 5817(0.8%) had CKD, of whom 2266(0.3%) were on dialysis. 74.3% of patients with CKD underwent VSG with 25.7% underwent RYGB. Comparing RYGB to VSG, patients who underwent RYGB had a higher rate of deep organ space infection (0.7%vs.0.1%,p = 0.021) and re-intervention (5.0% vs. 2.2%,p < 0.001). Within the VSG cohort, a matched analysis was performed for those with CKD and without CKD. The CKD cohort had higher risk of complications such as bleeding (2.1%vs. 0.9%,p < 0.001), readmission (9.3%vs.4.9%,p < 0.001), reoperation (2.7%vs.1.3%,p < 0.001), and need for reintervention (2.2%vs.1.3%,p < 0.001). Notably, patients with CKD also had a higher mortality (0.6%vs.0.2%,p = 0.003). No difference was seen between patients with renal insufficiency and patients on dialysis. CONCLUSION VSG has been the operation of choice in patients with CKD. Our results showed it is the safer option for patients with CKD compared to RYGB. Although this patient population does have an increased risk of adverse perioperative events, dialysis didn't affect the outcome. Bariatric surgeons who operate on patients with CKD should be well informed and remain vigilant given the increased perioperative risk. The risk is still considerably low, and the potential benefit on renal function and improvement in candidacy for renal transplant outweigh the risk. They should be considered as surgical candidates.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically during the past decades, which has been a major health problem. Since 1975, the number of people with obesity worldwide has nearly tripled. An increasing number of studies find obesity as a driver of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, and the mechanisms are complex and include hemodynamic changes, inflammation, oxidative stress, and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Obesity-related kidney disease is characterized by glomerulomegaly, which is often accompanied by localized and segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions. In these patients, the early symptoms are atypical, with microproteinuria being the main clinical manifestation and nephrotic syndrome being rare. Weight loss and RAAS blockers have a protective effect on obesity-related CKD, but even so, a significant proportion of patients eventually progress to end-stage renal disease despite treatment. Thus, it is critical to comprehend the mechanisms underlying obesity-related CKD to create new tactics for slowing or stopping disease progression. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the mechanisms of obesity-related kidney disease, its pathological changes, and future perspectives on its treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A retrospective cohort study investigated the association between having surgery and risk of mortality for up to 5 years and if this association was modified by incident ESRD during the follow-up period. Summary of Background Data: Mortality risk in individuals with pre-dialysis CKD is high and few effective treatment options are available. Whether bariatric surgery can improve survival in people with CKD is unclear. METHODS Patients with class II and III obesity and pre-dialysis CKD stages 3-5 who underwent bariatric surgery between January 1, 2006 and September 30, 2015 (n = 802) were matched to patients who did not have surgery (n = 4933). Mortality was obtained from state death records and ESRD was identified through state-based or healthcare system-based registries. Cox regression models were used to investigate the association between bariatric surgery and risk of mortality and if this was moderated by incident ESRD during the follow-up period. RESULTS Patients were primarily women (79%), non-Hispanic White (72%), under 65 years old (64%), who had a body mass index > 40kg/m 2 (59%), diabetes (67%), and hypertension (89%). After adjusting for incident ESRD, bariatric surgery was associated with a 79% lower 5-year risk of mortality compared to matched controls (hazard ratio = 0.21; 95% confidence interval: 0.14-0.32; P < 0.001). Incident ESRD did not moderate the observed association between surgery and mortality (hazard ratio = 1.59; 95% confidence interval: 0.31-8.23; P =0.58). CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery is associated with a reduction in mortality in pre-dialysis patients regardless of developing ESRD. These findings are significant because patients with CKD are at relatively high risk for death with few efficacious interventions available to improve survival.

Effects of Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Pain and Recovery Time in Obese Patients. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:9715704. [PMID: 36212173 PMCID: PMC9534713 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9715704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative pain and recovery time in obese patients. Methods A total of 100 obese patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy under general anesthesia in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were included and assigned into DEX group (dexmedetomidine group) and NS group (normal saline group). The bariatric surgery patients who were given normal saline pump were the NS group (n = 50), and the bariatric surgery patients who were given the dexmedetomidine pump were the DEX group (n = 50). The patients in the DEX group were given continuous intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine before, during, and after induction of anesthesia at a dose of 0.4 μg. kg-1. h-1, 0.4 μg·kg-1. h-1, 0.2 μg·kg-1. h-1, respectively. The NS group was infused with the same volume of normal saline for the same time. The two groups of patients were treated with the same anesthesia induction and maintenance program. By comparing the operation, anesthesia, postoperative extubation, and recovery time of the two groups of patients, the effect of dexmedetomidine on the postoperative recovery time of obese patients was analyzed. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and adverse reactions were compared to analyze the effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative pain in obese patients. Results The operation, anesthesia, postoperative extubation, and recovery time of the DEX group were significantly lower than those of the NS group, whereas the VAS and adverse reactions were significantly lower than those in the NS group (P < 0.05). Conclusion An appropriate dose of dexmedetomidine in bariatric surgery for morbidly obese patients can effectively shorten the recovery time and extubation time of patients, reduce postoperative pain and the incidence of adverse reactions, and is worthy of clinical application. Dexmedetomidine 2 μg/kg has promising anesthesia benefits in bariatric surgery of obese patients, can provide favorable analgesia and quality of recovery, help reduce the degree of stress response of patients, and does not increase the risk of adverse events. However, this study has certain limitations, so physicians should tailor the dosage according to the patient's physical condition in clinical practice.

Changes in Kidney Fat upon Dietary-Induced Weight Loss. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14071437.

Abstract
As the metabolic role of kidney fat remains unclear, we investigated the effects of dietary weight loss on kidney fat content (KFC) and its connection to kidney function and metabolism. Overweight or obese participants (n = 137) of a dietary intervention trial were classified into quartiles of weight loss in a post hoc manner. Kidney sinus (KSF) and cortex fat (KCF) were measured by magnetic resonance imaging at baseline, week 12 and week 50. Weight loss effects on KFC were evaluated by linear mixed models. Repeated measures correlations between KFC, other body fat measures and metabolic biomarkers were obtained. KSF, but not KCF, decreased significantly across weight loss quartiles at week 12 (quartile 4: -21.3%; p = 0.02) and 50 (-22.0%, p = 0.001), which remained significant after adjusting for VAT. There were smaller improvements regarding creatinine (-2.5%, p = 0.02) at week 12, but not week 50. KSF, but not KCF, correlated with visceral (rrm = 0.38) and subcutaneous fat volumes (rrm = 0.31) and liver fat content (rrm = 0.32), as well as diastolic blood pressure and biomarkers of lipid, glucose and liver metabolism. Dietary weight loss is associated with decreases in KSF, but not KCF, which suggests that KSF may be the metabolically relevant ectopic fat depot of the kidney. KSF may be targeted for obesity-related disease prevention.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are interrelated in a complex manner, and their coexistence predisposes patients to a plethora of medical problems. Metabolic surgery has evolved as a promising therapeutic option for both conditions. It is recommended that patients, particularly those of Asian origin, maintain a lower body mass index threshold in the presence of uncontrolled DM. However, several comorbidities often accompany these chronic diseases and need to be addressed for successful surgical outcome. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are the most commonly used bariatric procedures worldwide. The bariatric benefits of RYGB and LSG are similar, but emerging evidence indicates that RYGB is more effective than LSG in improving glycemic control and induces higher rates of long-term DM remission. Several scoring systems have been formulated that are utilized to predict the chances of remission. A glycemic target of glycated hemoglobin < 7% is a reasonable goal before surgery. Cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, nutritional, and psychological optimization of surgical candidates improves perioperative and long-term outcomes. Various guidelines for preoperative care of individuals with obesity have been formulated, but very few specifically focus on the concerns arising from the presence of concomitant DM. It is hoped that this statement will lead to the standardization of presurgical management of individuals with DM undergoing metabolic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The effect of bariatric surgery in renal function varies and the postoperative benefit time point remains unclear. We aim to assess the changes of renal function after bariatric surgery (BS) in different postoperative periods and subgroups. METHODS We searched the databases of PubMed and Cochrane from inception to December 14, 2020. Articles included in the study were drawn from all recipients of BS that provided assessments of renal function pre and post-surgery. Meta-analysis was performed to compare glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum creatinine, albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), and albuminuria before and after BS. RESULTS The study included 49 articles involving 8515 patients. Compared with pre-operative renal function, the overall analysis showed that bariatric surgery significantly reduced serum creatinine levels, ACR, and albuminuria. There was significant increase of GFR in the CKD subgroup, yet a noticeable decrease in the hyperfiltration subgroup. The most significant improvement in GFR was seen 6-12 months after BS, while ACR dropped most dramatically 12-24 months after BS. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery can improve renal function in obese patients with kidney dysfunction, especially 1 year after surgery.

Abstract
Background Bariatric surgery (BS) has been postulated as the most effective measure for weight reduction. Weight loss improves metabolic parameters and exerts changes in renal function that lead to the amelioration of absolute or relative glomerular hyperfiltration, a condition that may be renoprotective in the long term. However, few studies have demonstrated the influence of BS in patients with severe obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our objective was to analyse the evolution of renal function, adipose tissue–derived molecules and inflammatory parameters in patients with CKD after BS. Methods This is an observational and prospective study. Thirty patients were screened and 12 were included between January 2016 and January 2018 with a 24-month follow-up. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was determined by plasma iohexol clearance. Adipokines, cytokines, circulating hormones and fibrotic parameters were evaluated before and 12 months after BS using the Bioplex system. Results The mean age was 50.6 years and 58.3% were males. Seven patients had a body mass index >40 kg/m2 and 66.7% were diabetic. Twenty-four months following BS there was a significant decrease in body weight (36.4%). Proteinuria decreased by 63.7 ± 28.2%. Measured GFR significantly diminished from before surgery to Month 24 after surgery (94 ± 44 to 79 ± 44 mL/min, P = 0.03). There was a significant decrease in adipocyte-derived molecules (leptin and vifastin) as well as in pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1β, tumour necrosis factor α, IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1] and other circulating factors (vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor β isoforms). Conclusions BS is an effective option to prevent kidney damage in obese subjects with CKD due to the improvement of glomerular hyperfiltration, adipocyte cytokines metabolic and inflammatory parameters.

Obesity is a leading public health problem that currently affects over 650 million individuals worldwide. Although interest in the adverse effects of obesity has grown exponentially in recent years, less attention has been given to studying its management in individuals with CKD. This relatively unexplored area should be considered a high priority because of the rapid growth and high prevalence of obesity in the CKD population, its broad impact on health and outcomes, and its modifiable nature. This article begins to lay the groundwork in this field by providing a comprehensive overview that critically evaluates the available evidence related to obesity and kidney disease, identifies important gaps in our knowledge base, and integrates recent insights in the pathophysiology of obesity to help provide a way forward in establishing guidelines as a basis for managing obesity in CKD. Finally, the article includes a kidney-centric algorithm for management of obesity that can be used in clinical practice.

Surg Obes Relat Dis 2020; 17:508-515. [PMID: 33358080 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2020.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Improvements in kidney function post-bariatric surgery may be related to weight loss-independent effects. OBJECTIVES To characterize the dynamic relationship between body mass index (BMI) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before and after bariatric surgery in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). SETTING Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) health system. METHODS We conducted an observational, retrospective cohort study of patients with CKD stage 3 or higher who received bariatric surgery at the KPSC health system between 2007-2015. Bariatric surgery procedures included primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedures. Outcomes consisted of mean trajectory estimates and correlations of BMI and eGFR taken between 2 years before and 3 years after surgery. Multivariate functional mixed models were used to estimate how BMI and eGFR trajectories evolved jointly. RESULTS A total of 619 RYGB and 474 SG patients were included in the final analytic sample. The measurements were available before surgery for a median time of 1.9 years for SG and 1.8 years for RYGB patients. Median follow-up times after surgery were 2.8 years for both SG and RYGB patients. The mean age at the time of surgery was 58 years; 77% of patients were women; 56% of patients were non-Hispanic White; the mean BMI was 44 kg/m2; 60% of patients had diabetes mellitus; and 84% of patients had hypertension. Compared to the presurgery eGFR declines, the postsurgery declines in eGFR were 57% slower (95% credible interval [CrI], 33%-81%) for RYGB patients and 55% slower (95% CrI, 25%-75%) for SG patients. The mean correlation between BMI and eGFR was negligible at all time points. CONCLUSION Though bariatric surgery slowed declines in eGFR up to 3 years after surgery, changes in eGFR tracked poorly with changes in BMI. This study provides evidence that the kidney-related benefits of bariatric surgery may be at least partly independent of weight loss. Confirming this hypothesis could lead to mechanistic insights and new treatment options for CKD.

[PMID: 33112845 PMCID: PMC7592769 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1003396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remission has been identified as a top priority by people with type 2 diabetes. Remission is commonly used as an outcome in research studies; however, a widely accepted definition of remission of type 2 diabetes is lacking. A report on defining remission was published (but not formally endorsed) in Diabetes Care, an American Diabetes Association (ADA) journal. This Diabetes Care report remains widely used. It was the first to suggest 3 components necessary to define the presence of remission: (1) absence of glucose-lowering therapy (GLT); (2) normoglycaemia; and (3) for duration ≥1 year. Our aim is to systematically review how remission of type 2 diabetes has been defined by observational and interventional studies since publication of the 2009 report. METHODS AND FINDINGS Four databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL) were searched for studies published from 1 September 2009 to 18 July 2020 involving at least 100 participants with type 2 diabetes in their remission analysis, which examined an outcome of type 2 diabetes remission in adults ≥18 years and which had been published in English since 2009. Remission definitions were extracted and categorised by glucose-lowering therapy, glycaemic thresholds, and duration. A total of 8,966 titles/abstracts were screened, and 178 studies (165 observational and 13 interventional) from 33 countries were included. These contributed 266 definitions, of which 96 were unique. The 2009 report was referenced in 121 (45%) definitions. In total, 247 (93%) definitions required the absence of GLT, and 232 (87%) definitions specified numeric glycaemic thresholds. The most frequently used threshold was HbA1c<42 mmol/mol (6.0%) in 47 (20%) definitions. Time was frequently omitted. In this study, a total of 104 (39%) definitions defined time as a duration. The main limitations of this systematic review lie in the restriction to published studies written in English with sample sizes of over 100. Grey literature was not included in the search. CONCLUSIONS We found that there is substantial heterogeneity in the definition of type 2 diabetes remission in research studies published since 2009, at least partly reflecting ambiguity in the 2009 report. This complicates interpretation of previous research on remission of type 2 diabetes and the implications for people with type 2 diabetes. Any new consensus definition of remission should include unambiguous glycaemic thresholds and emphasise duration. Until an international consensus is reached, studies describing remission should clearly define all 3 components of remission. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42019144619.

Exogenous Ghrelin Increases Plasma Insulin Level in Diabetic Rats. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10040633. [PMID: 32325912 PMCID: PMC7226305 DOI: 10.3390/biom10040633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid peptide, is a strong growth hormone secretagogue and a regulator of food intake. In addition, ghrelin is thought to play a role in insulin secretion and in glucose homeostasis. A lot of contradictory data have been reported in the literature regarding the co-localization of ghrelin with other hormones in the islet of Langerhans, its role in insulin secretion and attenuation of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we investigate the effect of chronic ghrelin treatment on glucose, body weight and insulin level in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic male Wistar rats. We have also examined the distribution pattern and co-localization of ghrelin with insulin in pancreatic islet cells using immunohistochemistry and immune-electron microscopy and the ability of ghrelin to stimulate insulin release from the CRL11065 beta cell line. Control, non-diabetic groups received intraperitoneal injection of normal saline, while treated groups received intraperitoneal injection of 5 µg/kg body weight of ghrelin (amino acid chain 24–51) on a daily basis for a duration of four weeks. Our results show that the administration of ghrelin increases the number of insulin-secreting beta cells and serum insulin level in both normal and diabetic rats. We also demonstrated that ghrelin co-localizes with insulin in pancreatic islet cells and that the pattern of ghrelin distribution is altered after the onset of diabetes. Moreover, ghrelin at a dose of 10−6 M and 10−12 M increased insulin release from the CRL11065 beta cell line. In summary, ghrelin co-localizes with insulin in the secretory granules of pancreatic beta cells and enhances insulin production.
