Pediatric kidney health outcomes in communities impacted by chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu): a systematic review
Anna Strasma, Anisha Gerber, Isabela Agi Maluli, Elizabeth R. Blackwood, Sameera Gunasekara, P. Mangala C. S. De Silva, Nivedita Kamath, Marvin Gonzalez-Quiroz, Alison P. Sanders, Christina Wyatt & Nishad Jayasundara Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) is a tubulointerstitial disease that disproportionately affects young, primarily male, agricultural workers in Mesoamerica and South Asia who lack traditional risk factors for kidney disease. Extensive research in adult populations suggests the etiology is complex and indicates that early childhood exposures could have an integral role.
