Weight Loss in Obese Kidney Disease Patients After Bariatric Surgery

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is designed as a prospective, single-center, longitudinal and analytical study on the effect of bariatric surgery in obese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Detailed Description
-----------------
It is expected to enroll 22 obese subjects with chronic kidney disease (decrease in glomerular filtration and/or albuminuria/proteinuria). After the inclusion in the study patients will remain for six months with a reduced calorie diet until the day of bariatric surgery. Time monitoring of the patient after surgery is 24 months.
