Abstract
BACKGROUND: Preoperative anemia is a risk factor for acute kidney failure after high-risk surgeries. We assessed the impact of preoperative anemia on kidney function in an obese Asian population after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. METHODS: Patient characteristics, comorbidities, type of surgery, perioperative profiles, eGFR, and micronutrition were retrospectively reviewed in 341 patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery. All patients, who had a preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, were followed for 1 year and assigned to one of two groups: anemia or non-anemia group. Preoperative anemia was determined based on hemoglobin concentration. RESULTS: The Pearson's correlation coefficient between preoperative body mass index (BMI) and preoperative eGFR of all patients was 0.169 (p = 0.005). Preoperatively, there were no significant differences in age, BMI, and eGFR between the anemia (n = 38) and non-anemia groups (n = 303). Patients in the anemia group had lower hemoglobin concentration at baseline, 1 month, and 12 months after surgery than those in the non-anemia group. Postoperative eGFR levels at 1 month (p = 0.993) and 1 year (p = 0.118) as well as hospital stay (p = 0.941) were comparable between the two groups. However, the percentage weight loss was significantly higher in the non-anemia group than that in the anemia group 1 year after bariatric surgery (30.0 ± 7.3% vs. 27.0 ± 8.1%; p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative anemia did not negatively impact kidney function following laparoscopic bariatric surgery during the 12-month follow-up. Considering the potential adverse impact of anemia on postoperative weight loss, preoperative correction of anemia may be recommended.
