Abstract:Obbesity related glomerulopathy (ORG) has highlighted an epidemic trend and has become one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease, having increased twofold in the last decade. The pathogenesis is now thought to be mainly related to obesity-induced alterations in glomerular haemodynamics and ectopic deposition of lipids, but remains incompletely elucidated. Weight loss is an important aspect of treatment for obesity-related glomerulopathy, but it often has little effect due to the environment and individual performance, and in some patients nephropathy continues to progress despite weight control, so a combination of effective ORG treatments is important to control ORG progression. This article reviews the pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic advances in the treatment of obesity-related glomerulopathy and discusses the value of Chinese medicine in the treatment of ORG, aiming to provide a clinical reference and improve the integrated management of ORG.
