Describing Natural History and Exploring Risk Factors for Kidney Function Decline in Persons With CKD of Uncertain Etiology in Sri Lanka
|
| The authors initiated the Kidney Progression Project (KiPP) to follow 292 persons with a “Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration” estimated glomerular filtration rate of 20 to 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 living in areas with high levels of chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology.
|

The overall rate of kidney function decline was slow in this cohort. The authors suggest further etiologic investigations focusing on specific locations and water use.
