Importantly, the burden of kidney disease is highest among historically disadvantaged populations that often have limited access to optimal kidney disease therapies, which greatly contributes to current socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes. This joint statement from the International Society of ...
In this Consensus Statement, we discuss the unique environmental, social and medical drivers of kidney diseases, highlighting how tackling diabetes and heart disease alone will not target the core drivers of a large proportion of kidney diseases. We also discuss how such an approach worsens global ...
Renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplant) becomes inevit- able as the kidney function deteriorates and disease progresses to the end stage. Kidney transplant is not yet prevalent in Nigeria [6]; only about 15% of the study population had the transplant without difficulty. The ...
Additionally, even though we report estimates for Sudan, Nigeria, and South Africa, most studies from these countries were not included in the combined analysis due to issues with convenience sampling of high-risk populations and inconsistent measurements of kidney function. Of the three studies that...

The mutation burdens of multiple SBS mutational signatures varied between the 11 countries. SBS22 is thought to be caused by aristolochic acids, mutagenic derivatives of plants of theAristolochiagenus, which are carcinogenic and also cause Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), a kidney disease that is ...
In 2001, the Urologic Diseases in America project was launched to quantify the burden of urologic diseases in the United States, encompassing both their medical and financial impact [1]. In recent years, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies have provided comprehensive data on the disease ...
Young people living with HIV (YPLHIV) are at increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Early diagnosis is important to halt progression. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with CKD among YPLHIV in Kampa...
The proportion of women with predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) is higher than that of men; this difference is likely due to the longer life expectancy of women and possibly to CKD overdiagnosis with use of estimated glomerular filtration rate equations Kidney function declines faster in men...
