Preliminary analysis evaluates eGFR in adolescents, indicating potential links to environmental exposures.
Evaluation of pediatric kidney health in hotspots for chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) remains limited but is key for informing early detection and prevention strategies. The overarching aim of the ChiKU Cohort is to longitudinally assess adolescent kidney health in the CKDu hotspot of Uddanam, Andhra Pradesh. Here, we present a preliminary analysis with the objective of describing baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the ChiKU cohort and examining the relationship between baseline eGFR and participant characteristics.
