Findings reveal a need for standardized methods to improve understanding and management of chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology.
The cause(s) of CKDu remain uncertain, but greater integration of genetic, translational, biopsy, and longitudinal epidemiologic data hold promise for elucidating mechanistic pathways. Increased standardization of kidney biopsy protocols, epidemiologic definitions, and population surveillance methodologies would strengthen ongoing efforts to identify, treat, and prevent CKDu.
