Abstract
We aimed to determine the effect of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on the improvement of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Meta-analysis of 31 studies with 2594 patients showed that urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was significantly reduced with a mean difference of - 28.19 mg/g (95% CI - 41.17, - 15.21, P-value < 0.001). In addition, subgroup analysis of studies showed a significant decrease after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) but not after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). These results suggest that MBS may lead to better kidney function and improvement in DN.
