A prospective cohort study assesses in-hospital mortality predictors in chronic kidney disease patients, indicating significant healthcare challenges in resource-limited settings.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health burden, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where younger populations are disproportionately affected and access to kidney replacement therapy (KRT) remains limited. In Tanzania, many patients present with advanced disease and face financial barriers to care. We conducted a hospital-based prospective cohort study at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH), to assess in-hospital outcomes and predictors of mortality among CKD patients between September 1, 2024, and January 31, 2025.
