CKD in migrants: from epidemiology to challenges
This review explores how migration affects the burden and management of chronic kidney (CKD) disease globally.
It highlights the barriers many migrant populations face in accessing kidney care and argues for earlier detection, better access, and more culturally competent services.
The authors also call for more research and targeted public health efforts to improve outcomes.
