| [en] In developing countries chronic kidney disease (CKD)
is a growing problem. In most of sub-Saharan Africa, the vast majority of patients with CKD die because of lack of treatment. Renal replacement therapy is expensive, which makes it unaffordable to the residents of low-income regions. A solution to this problem may lie in preventive interventions. This editorial will focus on the reasons and some ways to reach such objectives. | |
