Abstract

Overweight (BMI > 25 mg/kg²) and obese (BMI > 30 mg/kg²) patients are commonly encountered in clinic and hospital settings each year in the United States and around the world. These patients present with a myriad of pulmonary, cardiac, and metabolic health issues in addition to their increased prevalence of chronic kidney disease [1]. An in-depth understanding of obese patients and their unique risks regarding kidney transplantation is necessary. This chapter presents a case-based scenario and discussion to address some of these topics.
