World Kidney Day, an initiative by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN), aims to raise awareness among the population about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a condition that affects approximately 10% of the global population, including 10 million Brazilians, with the majority unaware of their diagnosis. Albuminuria, a marker of kidney damage, is associated with serious risks, and the Dipstick Test is a simple and rapid method to detect it. This study conducted a population survey, using the Dipstick Test, on respondents during the World Kidney Day campaign in a low-development city in Brazil.
