The number of overweight and obese patients undergoing renal transplantation has increased dramatically over the past two decades. Studies on graft survival and posttransplantation complications have often yielded conflicting results. Some authors have reported similar results for graft and patient survivals between obese and normal weight patients, but with a marginally increased rate of postoperative complications. In contrast, other reports note higher percentage of graft losses as well as increased mortality. In our study, we analyzed early- and long-term outcomes among obese versus nonobese kidney transplant recipients.
