Abstract

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We confirmed the high prevalence of CKD in the adult population of Uddanam. The cause was not apparent in a majority. Subjects with a low eGFR with or without elevated proteinuria were phenotypically distinct from those with proteinuria and preserved eGFR. Our data suggest the need to apply a population-based approach to screening and prevention and studies to understand the causes of CKD in this region.
