Clinical impact of abdominal fat distribution measured by 3-D computed tomography volumetry on post-transplant renal function in recipients after living kidney transplantation: a retrospective study

Excessive visceral fat may decrease renal function because of metabolic derangements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of abdominal fat distribution on renal function of recipients after kidney transplantation using the visceral adipose tissue (VAT)/subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) ratio. Seventy-nine patients underwent living kidney transplantation from 2009 to 2017. Patients without a correct measurement of VAT and SAT, follow-up of
