Abstract Background and Aims Obesity is a potent risk factor for the development of kidney disease. The prevalence of abdominal obesity in Egyptians based upon the European cut-off points was 30.2% for men and 70.9% for women. To detect the best formula for estimation of glomerular filtration rates in morbidly obese individuals. Method: In this prospective study 82 morbidly obese patients were included, Age: 15 to 65 years, Morbidly obese patient (BMI > 40 Kg/m2), Creatinine clearance calculated from a 24-h urine was done, Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): It was assessed to be correlated with creatinine clearance and detect the most suitable formula for morbidly obese patients. Cockcroft-Gault formula:  Cockcroft-Gault formula (for total body weight): ockcroft-Gault formula (for adjusted body weight): Cockcroft-Gault formula (for lean body weight), MDRD-eGFR (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation) (Shahbaz & Gupta, 2019), CKD-epidemiology (CKD-EPI): (Levey, et al, 2009) Results Demogrphic criteria of the studdied patients Conclusion: The equations that had the nearest values to creatinine clearance were CG-TBW-GFR and CGAjBW- GFR, both of them had a moderate reliability with more agreement for the CG-TBW-GFR equation . The CG-TBW-GFR formula was the most reliable one to measure GFR, followed by the CG-AjBW-GFR formula, while the CG-IBW, CG-LBW, MDRD-GFR and CKD-EPI-GFR formulae were not reliable at all .

Introduction: Prevalence of obesity is 30 % in the Czech Republic and is expected to increase further in the future. This disease complicates surgical procedures but also the postoperative period. The aim of our paper is to present the surgical technique called hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (HALS), used in surgical management of kidney cancer in morbid obese patients with BMI >40 kg/m2. Methods: The basic cohort of seven patients with BMI >40 undergoing HALS nephrectomy was retrospectively evaluated. Demographic data were analyzed (age, gender, body weight, height, BMI and comorbidities). The perioperative course (surgery time, blood loss, ICU time, hospital stay and early complications), tumor characteristics (histology, TNM classification, tumor size, removed kidney size) and postoperative follow-up were evaluated. Results: The patient age was 38−67 years; the cohort included 2 females and 5 males, the body weight was 117−155 kg and the BMI was 40.3−501 kg/m2. Surgery time was 73−98 minutes, blood loss was 20−450 ml, and hospital stay was 5−7 days; incisional hernia occurred in one patient. Kidney cancer was confirmed in all cases, 48–110 mm in diameter, and the largest removed specimen size was 210×140×130 mm. One patient died just 9 months after the surgery because of metastatic disease; the tumor-free period in the other patients currently varies between 1 and 5 years. Conclusion: HALS nephrectomy seems to be a suitable and safe surgical technique in complicated patients like these morbid obese patients. HALS nephrectomy provides acceptable surgical and oncological results.
