Study information
Scientific title
A prospective cohort study of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss in obese patients on haemodialysis: proof of concept
Acronym
Study hypothesis
Obesity can cause chronic kidney disease and lead to kidney failure. However, obese patients are less likely to be eligible for kidney transplantation - the best treatment option for patients with kidney failure. Weight loss surgery is an effective treatment for weight loss but has not yet been studied systematically in patients with kidney failure.
This research aims to find out whether weight loss surgery is an effective and safe treatment for obesity in patients with kidney failure on haemodialysis.

Intervention
1. 15 volunteer haemodialysis patients with a body mass index > 35 will have keyhole surgery to reduce the size of their stomach to limit food intake and hunger. 2. The weight loss surgery procedure selected is the sleeve gastrectomy
3. In this operation, the size of the stomach is permanently reduced to one-third of its original size by removing some of the stomach to form a smaller, tube shaped stomach.
4. Another 15 patients with a body mass index >35 who choose not to have keyhole surgery will also be studied as a comparison group
5. Weight loss, achieving the body mass index criteria for listing for kidney transplantation, quality of life, changes in blood pressure and blood fats and the safety of the operation will be measured over 1 year
