Abstract
The principal objective of this systematic review is to determine the prognosis of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis with high body mass index (BMI) and study the potential mechanisms behind it. PubMed and Google Scholar electronic databases covering the period of the last 30 years 1992 to 2022 are searched thoroughly and a total of 11 articles were finally selected for the study. Reference lists of included papers are also searched. Each paper was examined by two independent evaluators who also extracted data from full papers. The quality of the selected studies was assessed by different quality assessment tools and only moderate- to high-quality papers are included. In this systematic review, we studied different mechanisms explaining the obesity paradox in patients on maintenance hemodialysis, i.e., hemodynamic stability, the concentration of TNF-α receptors, neurohumoral response, role of inflammation, blood pressure, etc. also, the effect of age, gender, duration of treatment, acetyl-ghrelin on obesity paradox have been considered in our paper. This systematic review demonstrates the evidence of an inverse relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality in ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
