Coverage of procedures related to chronic kidney disease care in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS): analysis of the 2015–2024 decade
Possible explanations for these results include excessive creatinine testing and nephrology consultations, neglect of CKD screening for proteinuria, lack of adherence to multidisciplinary pre-dialysis follow-up, underutilization of PD, and insufficient availability of kidney biopsy and kidney replacement therapy (lower coverage of kidney transplantation compared to chronic dialysis).
