title: [Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in a candidate for kidney transplant].
abstract: Obesity is a factor limiting access to kidney transplantation because of the high risk of perioperative complications, worse graft function and patients' survival. We present a case of an obese patient (BMI-38 kg/m2) with hypertension, diabetes and end-stage kidney disease caused by chronic glomerulonephritis treated with hemodialysis, who was excluded from transplantation because of obesity. The patient underwent Roux-en-Y gastric by-pass surgery as a preparation for kidney transplantation.
