A high body mass index (BMI) has been reported to confer a survival advantage in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. On the other hand, body fat accumulation, especially visceral adipose tissue, is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, as well as a clinically important source of adipokines. Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) uncouples respiration from ATP synthesis, thus regulating energy expenditure and fat oxidation. In this longitudinal cohort study, we investigated the impact of the UCP2 insertion/deletion (ins/del) polymorphism on body composition changes in ESRD patients starting dialysis.
