Chronic kidney disease in Peru: a challenge for a country with an emerging economy

Abstract: Coverage of renal replacement therapies (RRT) in Peruvian Ministry of Health is poor. There is an unequal distribution of TRR in the country, and is possible that up to 50% of the population does not have access to any kind of TRR. A multi-institutional approach to address this problem is necessary as it has been in consistent with the economic improvement of the country.

“…Appropriate medical intervention in these early stages decreases the risk of progression to late stages where the patient is likely to require some form of renal replacement therapy such hemodialysis (HD) [16]. This provides an opportunity to our health system, where CKD screening in at-risk population is deficient [26] and to our Ministry of Health since this institution has national HD coverage problems and has reported high mortality HD incident population, associated with late CKD detection in the Peruvian population [15, 27]. …”
