Brief summary
Obesity is in constant increase all over the world and affects 35% of the global population according to the World Health Organisation. It is associated with other cardiovascular risk factors (particularly hypertension and diabetes) and with high morbi-mortality. It is also responsible for an increase of the risk of developing chronic kidney diseases (CKD). In fact, obese patients represent 25% of the dialysis population and Picardy is one of the most affected areas. However, their access to kidney transplant is still restricted and the reasons are not completely understood.
