Description
Yixian You and colleagues combined earlier studies in 2024 to compare kidney risk in fatty liver disease. Fatty liver is often tied to obesity, yet many patients are not obese. The open question was whether those leaner patients face less risk of later kidney disease than obese patients with the same liver problem. The team searched three major databases and pooled fifteen studies that tracked new kidney disease in both groups.
New kidney disease appeared at nearly the same rate in non-obese and obese patients. Two standard kidney function measures also showed no clear gap between the groups overall, though smaller differences appeared in some subgroups defined by region or test method. Splitting non-obese patients into normal-weight and overweight groups changed nothing. The authors warn that a healthy weight should not reassure doctors here, since fatty liver alone appears to carry the kidney risk.
