| Abstract |
Recent studies have demonstrated the role of insulin resistance in renal injury related to obesity, with hyperfiltration leading to glomerulomegaly in a pattern similar to that found in diabetic nephropathy. Similarities in the histologic patterns of damage from obesity and diabetes point to overlapping mechanisms of injury. In this review, we will examine the hormonal mechanisms, signaling pathways and injury patterns in renal injury resulting from obesity and attempt to draw conclusions on the reasons for these similarities. |

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 18 July 2012.
All research outputs
#18,310,549
of 22,671,366 outputs
Outputs from Current Diabetes Reports
#771
of 1,005 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#126,814
of 164,804 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Diabetes Reports
#13
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,671,366 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 1,005 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% 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 164,804 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
