CKD in Indigenous Populations in Kerala, India
This is the first large-scale population-based study to report a high prevalence of CKD among indigenous tribal communities in India. Effective CKD control in the indigenous communities in India necessitates an equity-focused strategy addressing both clinical and social determinants. The findings underscore the need for culturally adapted screening and prevention interventions integrated within primary health care systems.
