HealthDay 
(6/21, Preidt) reports, "Weight-loss surgery may reduce the risk of
kidney disease in obese people with diabetes," according to a 52-patient
study scheduled for presentation at the annual meeting of the American
Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery. All 52 patients
underwent gastric bypass surgery. Five years later, "nearly 60 percent
of the patients who'd had diabetic nephropathy no longer had the
condition." What's more, "only 25 percent of those who did not have
diabetic nephropathy at the time of surgery
eventually developed the condition," which is "about 50 percent less
than the occurrence rate in people with diabetes who don't have
bariatric surgery." The
ABC News (6/20, Salahi, Reddy) website also mentioned the study.
This is great news, thanks for sharing. I've recently decided to check in to the Oklahoma surgery center close to my home for this very thing.
