Obesity as a cause of kidney disease – insights from Mendelian randomisation studies

2020-09-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> To examine if modifiable anthropometric indices of obesity exert putatively causal effects on different measures of kidney health and disease. <h4>Design</h4> Conventional observational and Mendelian randomisation study. <h4>Setting</h4> UK Biobank and international genome-wide association studies. <h4>Participants</h4> Approximately 300,000 participants of white-British ancestry from UK Biobank...
