A large study suggests that kidney function is likely to deteriorate with an increase in obesity, whether or not they have kidney problems.

The study found that obese adults are twice as likely to have kidney failure as overweight adults.

"Overweight, especially around the abdomen, causes many negative metabolic effects on the kidneys," said Dr. Alex Chang, lead author of the study.
