What is the medical complication of obesity on the Kidneys?

My daughter is in medical school and recently told me about the kidney she removed from her cadaver. It was about 10x the normal size. She asked the professor what was wrong. After they did research, they realized the kidney was wrapped in layers and layers of fat. She said it was really disgusting. \n\nObesity can also lead to kidney stones, kidney cancer and kidney failure. Diabetes, linked to obesity, also can cause kidney problems.

1. Diabetes.\n\n2. High Blood Pressure.\n\n3. Inflammation of the kidneys called glomerulonephritis. (a painless inflammation of the filtering part of the kidneys (the glomerulus) - this leads to high blood pressure and progressive loss of kidney function in some cases. There are many different types and they are diagnosed after a kidney biopsy - treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids may be used to reduce the kidney damage.)\n\n4. Inhereited Conditon.\n\n5. Polycystic kidney disease.\n\n6. Scarring from kidney infection in childhood.\n\n7. Obstruction.\n\n8.  Kidney Stones.\n\n9. Kidney Cyst.\n\n10. Immune disorder called systemic lupus erythematosus.\n\n11. Drugs.

HIV also directly attacks organs, such as the kidneys, the heart and the brain leading to acute renal failure, cardiomyopathy, dementia and encephalopathy. Many of the problems faced by people infected with HIV result from failure of the immune system to protect from opportunistic infections and cancers.

Kidney problems can contribute or cause high blood pressure, but are not the only causes of high blood pressure.  Uncontrolled high blood pressure can also cause damage to the kidney.

Yes it is. I'm currently writing a thesis on Adult Obesity myself. Obesity is a medical condition that affects not only the US but also a large percentage of the world. Furthermore it is an American epidemic. The percentage of childhood obesity increases annually. Its also a major public health problem because obesity is a well-known and proven risk factor to other diseases - such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, gallbladder disease, gout, stroke, sleep apnoea, depression and osteoarthritis of the weight-bearing joints. \n\nFor general facts on obesity, I would advise you to consult a nutrionist, a professional or a medical encyclopedia. Cheers!

After someone has diabetes for a long period of time and they do not control it properly or in some cases even if they do,they develop fatty plaque in the blood vessels.The reason they do is because they cannot properly metabolize fats so they float in the bloodstream and accumulate on the walls of the vessel .This fat causes the vessels to narrow and the blood has a harder time circulating through them.This causes the heart to have to pump harder to get the blood out through the narrow vessels and the resistance of the blood flow against the narrow vessel causes hypertension.Another reason for hypertension in diabetes is that they frequently have kidney damage and the kidneys play a role in blood pressure regulation.

After kidney failure, various waste products can build up in the blood, and each kind can have different effects on your health. \n\nSalt can increase blood pressure, so you may be encouraged to reduce salt intake. (Salt also has the effect of increasing thirst, so it makes it more difficult for patients to restrict their fluid intake).  \n\nPotassium is a mineral which is found in the cells of body tissue, and any excess would normally be removed by the kidneys. Too high a level of potassium is bad for the heart - in extreme case it may even cause it to stop. \n\nPhosphate is a substance that is widely found in foods. It works very closely with the mineral calcium, and the healthy body keeps these two substances in balance. High phosphate levels may be associated with itch and over the longterm can damage blood vessels. \n\nProtein is an essential nutrient that enables the body to build muscles. Low levels of protein can lead to fluid retention and to a reduction of the body’s ability to fight off infections. \n\nSome patients may need vitamin B and C supplements. \nIron levels may drop and cause anaemia, this can be replaced with iron tablets.

I am glad that you asked this question.\n\nFirst, obesity is more than just you have more fat.  Your body has to supply that fat with circulation.  That means for body surface area and decreases the concentration of your testosterone.\n\nSecond, fat tissue makes estrogen.  Now your body already makes a small degree of estrogen and it comes from your adrenal glands which are located on top of your kidneys.  The estrogen is going to counteract some of the effects of the testosterone.\n\nBest advice, start a weight reduction program, exercise and follow up with a physician of your choice to monitor your weight loss.\n\nGood luck.
