Key result
Obesity evaluated for link to renal insufficiency in hypertensive patients without reported outcome data.
Why the study?
There is a scarcity of evidence comparing renal insufficiency in hypertensive obese and non-obese patients in the Indian population.
Does obesity affect the prevalence of renal insufficiency in hypertensive patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=100)
No
Does obesity affect the prevalence of renal insufficiency in hypertensive patients?
Observational links between obesity biomarkers and renal risk in Indian hypertensives remain hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.
Background: Renal failure can stem from various conditions, and detecting biomarkers associated with obesity-related disorders is crucial for early identification of the risk of renal failure and timely intervention in obese individuals. Though different studies have depicted a relationship between obesity, metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular outcomes but there is scarcity of evidence in the Indian population as there are no published data comparing this condition in hypertensive patients with or without excess BMI. Thus, we designed a prospective study to determine the prevalence of renal insufficiency in a tertiary care hospital by correlating various socio demographic and clinical risk factors.Materials and Methods: A total of 100 subjects were enrolled in the study as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We conducted a clinical and biochemical profiling to evaluate renal insufficiency in subjects.

Shetty et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and obesity (n=100). Obesity (excess BMI) vs. Non-obese (without excess BMI) was evaluated on Prevalence of renal insufficiency.
