Background. Weight excess is associated with increased renal risk. Data in overt obesity suggest a role for altered renal hemodynamics. Whether body mass index (BMI) is also relevant to renal function in non- obese subjects is unknown.Methods. We studied the relation between BMI and renal hemodynamics in 102 healthy, non- obese (BMI < 30 kg/ m 2) subjects [59 males, 43 females, mean age 39 (18- 69) years] in a post- hoc analysis of subjects evaluated as prospective kidney donors or as healthy volunteers in renal hemodynamic studies.Results. Mean ( +/- SD) BMI was 24.0 +/- 2.8 kg/ m(2), mean arterial pressure (MAP) 93 +/- 11 mm Hg, glomerular filtration rate (GFR, iothalamate clearance) 111 +/- 19 mL min/1.73m(2), effective renal plasma flow (ERPF, hippuran clearance) 458 +/- 108 mL/min/1.73m(2), FF (GFR/ ERPF) 0.25 +/- 0.04. On univariate analysis, BMI correlated negatively with ERPF/ 1.73m(2) body surface area (BSA) (r = 0.46; P < 0.001), GFR/1.73m(2) BSA (r = -0.24, P = 0.013) and positively with FF (r = 0.45, P < 0.001), and age (r = 0.47, P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis both BMI and age were independent predictors of ERPF/1.73m(2) BSA (negative) and FF (positive, all P < 0.05). Age was the only predictor of GFR/1.73m(2) BSA (negative). Analyzed for renal function indexed for height (h), BMI correlated negatively with ERPF/ h (r = 0.274, P = 0.005), but not with GFR/ h (r = 0.13, P = 0.899). On multivariate analysis both BMI (positive) and age (negative) were independent predictors for GFR/ h (both P < 0.001). Age was the only predictor for ERPF/ h (negative). Predictors for FF (BMI and age, both positive) were by definition unaltered.Conclusion. The impact of BMI on renal function is not limited to overt obesity, as in subjects with BMI < 30 kg/ m(2) a higher BMI is associated with higher FF, that is, a higher GFR relative to ERPF. This suggests an altered afferent/ efferent balance and higher glomerular pressure (i. e., a potentially unfavorable renal hemodynamic profile) that may confer enhanced renal susceptibility when other factors, such as hypertension or diabetes are superimposed.
