Situation of Chronic Kidney Disease 2022 in the Andean countries (Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela)

The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased exponentially worldwide but more so in low- and middle-income countries. Specific risk factors in these regions expose their populations to an increased risk of CKD, such as genetic risk with APOL1 among populations of West African heritage or farmers with CKD of unknown etiology that spans v...

Renal Transplantation (KT) over time has been considered the treatment of choice for patients who have been diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Non-adherence to immunosuppressive treatment is the main cause of graft loss. The causes of non-adherence to treatment are many, but in 2020, the SAR-CoV-2 pandemic, widely known as Covid-19, app...
