- W4365514153 abstract "Africa, particularly sub-Sharan Africa (SSA), faces major challenges in respect to chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is a rising prevalence due to the combined effects of hypertension, diabetes, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (and the interaction between them) and the effect of apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) variants on the susceptibility to CKD. Epidemiological data on the prevalence of CKD are of low-to-medium quality, and reliable data are urgently needed for health planning. Furthermore, there are important deficiencies in creatinine-based equations in underestimating the prevalence of CKD in Africa, and evidence suggests that cystatin C based equations are more reliable. There is a changing spectrum of HIV related CKD with the greater availability of antiretroviral treatment. Major clinical trials using SGLT2 inhibitors have signalled a major advance in the treatment of CKD, especially in relation to type 2 diabetes, but the affordability, availability, and relevance to the African population is not established. The importance of the effects of hypertension in pregnancy and pregnancy related acute kidney injury on CKD and the newer concept of CKD of unknown cause (CKDu) are highlighted. Hypertension remains a dominant cause of CKD in Africa, and newer information suggests that the most appropriate treatment to control blood pressure and thus prevent CKD is the combination of either amlodipine plus a thiazide diuretic or angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor." @default.
