Abstract
Obesity represents a serious and growing disease worldwide. The pathophysiological changes secondary to chronic inflammation lead to the development of diseases that increase the morbidity and mortality of individuals. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition with deleterious effects that acts bidirectionally with obesity. From approximately 20% to 30% of individuals share phenotypes of CKD and obesity, increasing their cardiovascular risk and the risk of other complications. Obesity and CKD form a vicious cycle in which inflammation is the central axis of multiorgan damage. Despite increasing the risk of cardiac and renal mortality, CKD progresses in relation to body mass index and albuminuria. Nowadays, the implementation of the new medications aimed at mitigating the peak of inflammation is becoming a cornerstone of treatments for obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and renal disease.
