The global health burden of pediatric chronic kidney disease: An analysis of the Global Burden of Disease database from 1990 to 2021
Pediatric CKD burden reflects disparities by etiology, geography, and SDI. Interventions to improve early diagnosis, healthcare access, and targeted management strategies, particularly in low-SDI regions, are essential. Addressing obesity and improving treatment for glomerulonephritis are priorities. Standardized diagnostic criteria and broader global efforts are needed to mitigate the burden of pediatric CKD.
