“…Studies in Africa show that men were more likely to receive RRT than women [96,97]. In Japan, the incidence of treated ESRD in females was less than half of that in males (3287 in males vs. 1764 women per million population treated) [91]: no explanations are given for this finding.…”

Chronic Kidney Disease affects approximately 10% of the world's adult population: it is within the top 20 causes of death worldwide, and its impact on patients and their families can be devastating. World Kidney Day and International Women's Day in 2018 coincide, thus offering an opportunity to reflect on the importance of women's health and specifically their kidney health, on the community, and the next generations, as well as to strive to be more curious about the unique aspects of kidney disease in women so that we may apply those learnings more broadly. Girls and women, who make up approximately 50% of the world's population, are important contributors to society and their families. Gender differences continue to exist around the world in access to education, medical care, and participation in clinical studies. Pregnancy is a unique state for women, offering an opportunity for diagnosis of kidney disease, but also a state where acute and chronic kidney diseases may manifest, and which may impact future generations with respect to kidney health. There are various autoimmune and other conditions that are more likely to impact women with profound consequences for child bearing, and on the fetus. Women have different complications on dialysis than men, and are more likely to be donors than recipients of kidney transplants. In this editorial, we focus on what we do and do not know about women, kidney health, and kidney disease, and what we might learn in the future to improve outcomes worldwide.

KEY WORDS:Women, Access to care, Kidney health, Acute and chronic kidney disease, Inequities ÖZ Kronik Böbrek Hastalığı dünyadaki erişkin popülasyonun yaklaşık %10'unu etkiler: dünya çapında ölümün en sık görülen 20 nedeninden biridir ve hastalar ile aileleri üzerinde çok ciddi etkileri olabilir. Dünya Böbrek Günü ve Uluslararası Kadınlar Günü 2018 yılında aynı güne denk gelmiştir. Böylece kadın sağlığı ve özellikle böbrek sağlığının toplum ve sonraki nesiller üzerindeki önemini düşünmek, öğrendiklerimizi daha geniş bir şekilde uygulayabilmek için böbrek hastalığının benzersiz yönleri konusunda daha meraklı olmaya çalışmak için bir fırsat sunmaktadır.Dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık %50'sini oluşturan kızlar ve kadınlar toplum ve ailelerine önemli katkılar yaparlar. Dünya çapında eğitime erişim, tıbbi bakım ve klinik çalışmalara katılmada cinsiyetle ilgili farklılıklar bulunmaya devam etmektedir. Hamilelik kadınlar için eşsiz bir dönemdir ve böbrek hastalığına tanı konması fırsatı yaratır ama aynı zamanda böbrek sağlığı açısından gelecek nesilleri etkileyebilecek akut ve kronik böbrek hastalıklarının ortaya çıkabileceği bir durumdur. Kadınları etkilemesi daha olası olan ve çocuk sahibi olma ve fetus üzerinde çok önemli sonuçlar doğurabilecek çeşitli otoimmün ve başka hastalıklar bulunmaktadır. Kadınların diyaliz komplikasyonları erkeklerden farklıdır ve böbrek naklinde alıcı olmak yerine verici olma olasılıkları daha yüksektir.Bu editör yazısında kadınlar, böbrek sağlığı ve böbrek hastalığı hakkında bildiklerimiz ve bilmed...

“…Однако чаще наблюдается ишемическая нефропатия с альбуминурией, гипертензией и мед-ленным прогрессированием ХБП [87]. Острая почечная недостаточность без гипертензии у па-циентов с СС может быть обусловлена интерсти-циальным нефритом или сочетанием СС с АНЦА-ассоциированным васкулитом, в последнем случае исходы неблагоприятны [88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98].…”

“…Исследования, проведенные в Африке, показали, что мужчины с большей вероятностью будут по-лучать ЗПТ по сравнению с женщинами [96,97]. В Японии лечение тХПН у женщин осуществляется более чем вдвое реже, чем у мужчин (3,287 мужчин и 1,764 женщин на млн популяции, получающей лечение) [91]; никаких объяснений этим данным не представлено.…”
