Renal Failure: A Possible Side Effect of Vertical Sleeve Surgery
Vertical Sleeve Surgery is a kind of surgery that is intended to make a person slim by getting rid of their obesity. It is undoubtedly a very handy procedure through which a person can loose weight in a minimum time period but there are a lot of complications and side effects involved in it. In a medical journal named as ‘Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases’, acute renal failure has been found in about 2.5% people who opted for this surgery. And out of these, condition of 15% was extremely critical and had to put on dialysis.
If people whose Body Mass Index is more than 50 and are suffering from diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, some kind of kidney disease etc are at a greater risk of renal failure if they opt for this particular weight loss surgery. Now the biggest question that arises is as to why such a thing is happening. It occurs due to the accumulation of proteins in the kidneys and it forms stones in the kidney.
If such kind of complication occurs in people, then people should resort to the usage of IV fluid therapy that is efficient enough to cure this kidney problem. To prevent such kind of situation happening in the future, then patients should make sure that they are taking plenty of fluids as a major part of their daily diet to ward off the problems of renal failure post vertical sleeve surgery.
