Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health problem due to its high prevalence, poor prognosis, and high cost. Due to the poor economic conditions, lifestyles, living environment, medical conditions, and other aspects, disadvantaged populations have a higher incidence of kidney disease, lower application rates of renal replacement therapy, worse prognosis, and heavier economic burden. Therefore, more attention should be given to CKD in disadvantaged populations. The theme of the tenth World Kidney Day 2015 is to pay attention to the CKD in disadvantaged populations, and appeal to everyone to take good care of their kidneys. This paper focuses on the relationship between poverty and CKD, and aims to improve the prevention and treatment for CKD in disadvantaged populations.

Key words: World Kidney Day, Chronic kidney disease, Disadvantaged populations, Kidney health
