Malaria is a disease that affects millions of people around the world, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. There are 5 species of the genus Plasmodium that cause the disease (P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. vivax and P. knowlesi), which can be complicated by the development of progressive glomerulonephritis and chronic malaria nephropathy. The aim of this study is to analyze epidemiological data on mortality from acute kidney injury (AKI) and malaria in Brazil, looking for a correlation.
