 The prevalence of chronic kidney disease was found to be high in both general and high-risk populations from countries of low and middle income. Additionally, awareness of chronic kidney disease and other non-communicable diseases was low, and a substantial number of individuals who knew they were ill did not receive treatment. This highlights the need for prospective programs with repeat testing to confirm the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease and its risk factors. Furthermore, health care workforces in countries of low and middle income need strengthening. This article was authored by Dr Bogdan Inyodoke, PhD, Norberto Perico, MD, Boris Bikboff, MD, and others.
