Core Tip	Childhood obesity can lead to various metabolic diseases, including diabetes and high blood pressure. These factors can significantly affect a child's suitability for transplantation or make the procedure more difficult. Obesity in pediatric patients at the time of kidney transplantation is associated with loss of the transplant and serious negative consequences that significantly affect their quality of life. An accurate analysis of the modifiable factors associated with obesity and kidney transplantation is central to providing appropriate support for children with end-stage renal disease needing for renal replacement therapy.
