Obesity is associated with chronic metabolic conditions that directly and indirectly cause kidney parenchymal damage. A review of the literature was conducted to explore existing evidence of the relationship between obesity and chronic kidney disease as well as the role of bariatric surgery in improving access to kidney transplantation for patients with a high body mass index. The review showed no definitive evidence to support the use of a transplant eligibility cut-off parameter based solely on the body mass index. Moreover, in the pre-transplant scenario, the obesity paradox is associated with better patient survival among obese than non-obese patients, although promising results of bariatric surgery are emerging. However, until more information regarding improvement in outcomes for obese kidney transplant candidates is available, clinicians should focus on screening of the overall frailty condition of transplant candidates to ensure their eligibility and addition to the wait list.
