Obesity is a major and independent risk factor for onset and progression of many renal diseases. Bariatric surgery (BS) improves renal function by improving obesity-related metabolic disorders. However, the procedure is also accompanied by renal risks, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and oxalate nephropathy. Here, we briefly review the history and principle of frequently applied technique for BS and summarize the comprehensive BS effect on kidney function. Importantly, we highlight the possible molecular mechanisms associated with the recovery of renal function to provide novel ideas for future studies and clinical applications.
