Bariatric surgery  significantly lowered inflammatory factors ; however , baseline BMI , follow-up duration and type of surgery could impact the extent of observed effects
Obesity is one of the main causes of inflammation .
Previous studies have reported inconclusive results regarding the effect of bariatric surgery on inflammatory markers .
This systematic review and meta- analysis is aim ed at describing the effect of bariatric surgery on C-reactive protein ( CRP ) , interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α ) .
Determinants associated with the correction of glomerular hyper-filtration one year after bariatric surgery.
BACKGROUND Increased adipokine production and hyperfiltration may explain the links between obesity and chronic kidney disease . Indeed , hyperfiltration may precede a subsequent accelerated decline of kidney function in these patients . Glomerular filtration rate decreases after bariatric surgery in young obese patients with hyperfiltration . OBJECTIVE Our aim was to identify the factors associated with this decrease 1 year after bariatric surgery . SETTING We used data from a prospect i ve cohort of severely obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery in Nice University Hospital . METHODS We analyzed 175 patients before and 1 year after bariatric surgery .  Low- grade inflammation was evaluated by serum C-reactive protein levels . Lean body mass and fat body mass were estimated by bioelectric impedance analysis . Body surface area was assessed by the Du Bois formula . Serum creatinine levels were used to estimate glomerular filtration rate by the chronic kidney disease-epidemiology collaboration ( CKD-EPI ) equation . Glomerular filtration rate was de-adjusted from st and ard body surface area and then divided by lean body mass to calculate the decrease in hyperfiltration and to separate the patients into 2 groups : above or below the median decrease of hyperfiltration after bariatric surgery . RESULTS The factors associated with a large correction of hyperfiltration were baseline C-reactive protein levels ( 10.0 ± 5.8 mg/L versus 12.7 ± 7.4 mg/L , P = .01 ) and brachial circumference ( 41 ± 4 cm versus 44 ± 5 cm , P = .006 ) . A high fat mass reduction rate was significantly associated with a substantial hyperfiltration reduction after bariatric surgery ( P<.001 ) independently of sex and surgical procedure . CONCLUSIONS The correction of hyperfiltration is associated with a high reduction rate of fat mass after bariatric surgery but may be limited by low- grade inflammation
