| Abstract |
Patients with a body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m(2) who need kidney transplant present with increased postoperative mortality and reduced kidney graft survival compared to patients with a lower BMI. For this reason, obese patients are often excluded from the transplantation waiting list. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for obese patients awaiting a kidney transplant. This was a retrospective study on patients with dialysis-dependent renal failure (DDRF) operated on at two first-level bariatric centers in Paris (France). All the patients were contraindicated for kidney transplantation due to the presence of morbid obesity. Nine DDFR patients with a mean BMI of 45.9 kg/m(2) underwent LSG for the treatment of obesity. Furthermore, all patients presented with hypertension and sleep apnea and six out nine were diabetics. In the immediate postoperative period, all patients were transferred to the intensive care unit (mean stay of 2.1 days). The only major adverse event was a delayed weaning from mechanical ventilation in one patient. The mean hospital stay was 5.5 days (3-12). The total weight loss (TWL) was 27.1, 33.6, and 39.5 kg at 6, 12, and 18 months, respectively. One patient underwent renal transplantation 18 months after LSG, and the other five patients were actively listed for kidney transplantation. According to the results of this small sample series, LSG seems to be an effective and safe procedure in DDRF patients with concomitant obesity and can increase access to transplantation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 June 2017.
All research outputs
#18,552,700
of 22,977,819 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#2,564
of 3,400 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#235,831
of 309,998 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#37
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,977,819 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,400 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 309,998 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
