Bariatric surgery reduces incidence of albuminuria and end-stage renal disease in patients with obesity. Effects of bariatric surgery on long-term remission and progression of pre-existing obesity-related renal damage are mainly unexplored. Here we investigate the long-term effects of bariatric surgery compared with conventional obesity care on remission and progression of albuminuria.
