Abstract
The obesity epidemic is undoubtedly increasing the total end-stage renal disease population, which has a larger proportion of obese individuals on reaching the dialysis stage. This review discusses recent advances in the pathophysiology of adipose tissue and adipokines that may contribute to increased risk of progression towards end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular damage.
