Abstract:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now considered a global health burden. In addition to the well-known clinical risk factors, social determinants of the disease such as poverty, low birthweight, and lack of access to health services play an important role, with the prevalence of disease modified by various socioeconomic factors, including migration. Herein, we explore the intersection of CKD and migration by examining how migrant populations can modify global prevalence and therapy of CKD global prevalence, including the challenges faced by migrant populations in accessing nephrology units. In addition, we provide suggestions for improving their care.
