Weight loss reduces glomerular hyperfiltration, blood pressure, and proteinuria, thereby providing nephroprotection.
Losing weight through diet and exercise directly protects the kidneys by lowering blood pressure and reducing the workload (hyperfiltration) on the kidney filters. This is the first-line strategy for preventing kidney disease in obese individuals.

Paralelamente, a perda de peso promove redução da PA, atenua a hiperfiltração glomerular e reduz a proteinúria (BOLIGNANO; ZOCCALI, 2013), ações reconhecidamente nefroprotetoras.

- Obesity causes chronic kidney disease directly through adaptive glomerular changes (glomerulopathy associated with obesity) and indirectly by increasing the risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes.Good
- Obesity is associated with an 'obesity paradox' in end-stage renal disease, where higher BMI may correlate with lower mortality in dialysis patients, potentially due to greater muscle mass or nutritional reserves.Moderate
