Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease in Chile: Temporal trends in hospitalization rates from 2010 to 2019
This study highlights AKI as a growing public health challenge nationwide, with increasing hospitalization rates. At the same time, CKD hospitalizations show a reduction, although regional disparities remain a concern. Efforts should focus on enhanced integral surveillance to address these trends effectively across the country.
