No diabetes, but obesity may harm kidneys: AIIMS-Delhi study

Being free of diabetes does not necessarily mean an overweight person’s kidneys are safe. A study by AIIMS-Delhi has found that obesity can be associated with early kidney stress even before conventional kidney-function tests show an obvious problem. The research, led by Dr Amandeep Singh, involved 160 adults without existing co-morbidities and assessed obesity alongside kidney-related biomarkers.
