Environmental exposure assessment in the international prospective study of Chronic Kidney Disease of UnceRtain Etiology (CKDu) in Agricultural Communities (CURE) research consortium: Design and protocol development
CURE will provide critical insights into CKDu risk factors, supporting future research and prevention strategies. A comprehensive exposure assessment will enhance understanding of environmental contributors, guiding interventions at individual, workplace, and community levels to mitigate CKDu's impact.
