Chronic kidney disease in disadvantaged populations

Abstract: The increased burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in disadvantaged populations is due to both global factors and population-specific issues. Low socioeconomic status and poor access to care contribute to health care disparities and exacerbate the negative effects of genetic or biological predisposition. Provision of appropriate renal care to these populations requires a two-pronged approach: expanding the reach of dialysis through development of low-cost alternatives that can be practiced in remote location… Show more

“…also found that poverty-related factors continue to play an important role in the development of CKD in low-income countries. [ 23 ] Low prevalence of anxiety in patients from joint family may be attributable to the protective effect of support offered by joint family system. Both depression and anxiety were more prevalent in patients who were on haemodialysis for longer duration, which may be explained by the perceived burden of this complex procedure and chronic dependence on it for supporting functions of diseased kidneys.…”

“…The burden of chronic kidney disease disproportionately affects socioeconomically disadvantaged populations [ 1 – 3 ]. In Australia, the Northern Territory (NT) has the highest rates of kidney failure, with Aboriginal people who live in remote areas requiring kidney treatment at more than 10 times national rates [ 4 ].…”

“…Another modality to decrease the differences in mortality is to finance the production of renal replacement therapy and increase the coverage of public systems. “Disparities in health care exacerbate the negative effects of biological predisposition and the increased burden of CKD in disadvantaged populations, due to low socioeconomic status, and poor access to health care” [ 50 ].…”
