A number of pathophysiological mechanisms, including renal hemodynamic changes, neurohumoral pathways that activate the sympathetic and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems, proinflammatory and profibrotic effects of various adipokines, and insulin resistance may explain the excessive risk of CKD development and progression in obese patients. In patients with mild to moderate CKD, obesity <em>per se</em> contributes a modest increase in cardiovascular risk, while the effect of obesity on the cardiovascular risk of patients with advanced CKD is probably due to the concurrent metabolic syndrome and coexisting cardiovascular risk factors, but the effect of obesity on the cardiovascular risk of patients with advanced CKD is probably the result of the concomitant metabolic syndrome and coexisting cardiovascular risk factors.
