Abstract
Introduction and Objective: Obesity is a major health issue worldwide, with a higher rate of severe obesity among adolescents in South Auckland compared to other parts of New Zealand. While bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severely obese adults, there is limited evidence on its effectiveness for adolescents. This study will explore how intensive lifestyle changes, with or without bariatric surgery, affect Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR), a measure of kidney function, in Māori and Pasifika adolescents. Methods: Adolescents (15-17 years old) with a BMI≥35 followed a 12-week weight loss program using a Very Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) based on the Optifast program. After 12 weeks, eligible participants were offered bariatric surgery. Longitudinal mixed effects models were used to analyze how surgery, gender, weight change, and time affected UACR levels. Results: Out of 21 participants (12F, 9M), 6 (4F, 2M) had bariatric surgery. The analysis showed no overall effect of time or surgery alone, but there was a significant interaction effect (p<0.001). Participants who had bariatric surgery showed a decrease in log(UACR), while those who didn't have surgery showed either a stable or increasing trend. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery significantly modifies the time effect on log(UACR), leading to a greater reduction in UACR levels over time compared to non-surgery participants, potentially predicting less significant or delayed nephropathy into the future.

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
