Obesity is a risk factor for adverse heart and kidney outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease, but whether it is associated with these outcomes in patients with glomerulonephropathy is not known. This study used existing data from a large sample of adults and children with glomerular diseases to address this question. The findings suggest that obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular but not kidney disease events in adult patients with glomerular disease.
