Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a globally significant non-communicable
disorder. CKD prevalence varies between countries and within a country. We compared the …

The potential utility of microRNAs (miRNAs) as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers, as well
as therapeutic targets, for chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been advocated. However …

Kidney disease is the 10th leading cause of death worldwide and disproportionately
increases morbidity and mortality for people residing in low-and middle-income countries …

Background Higher temperatures are associated with higher rates of hospital admissions for

Abstract 1 Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a global public health problem, is increasing at an
alarming rate 2 across Africa. The increasing CKD burden in this region is mainly driven by a …

Background Chronic kidney disease is becoming more prevalent in Africa, and its genetic
determinants are poorly understood. Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate …

Background New equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate based on creatinine
(eGFRcr), cystatin C (eGFRcys) or both (eGFRcr-cys) have been developed by the Chronic …

Accurate diagnosis, classification and risk stratification for chronic kidney disease (CKD)
allow for early recognition and delivering optimal care. Creatinine-based glomerular filtration …

Background: In Africa, true prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown, and
associated clinical and genetic risk factors remain understudied. This population-based …
