Rapid chronic kidney disease progression in younger, First Nations patients in the Northern Territory
This 6-year retrospective cohort study investigated the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among Australian First Nations patients in remote Northern Territory. We found that younger patients (age less than 50 years) were at a higher risk of progression to kidney replacement therapy or death compared to older adults. The results indicate a need to target early CKD intervention efforts to younger patients at risk of rapid progression.
