The increase in the disease burden results more from premature deaths than from the disability associated with the pathology. No country in the region has managed to avoid the troubling impact, but some, such as Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico, stand out for having the highest standardized rates of years lost due to premature deaths, disability-adjusted life years for chronic kidney disease .by authors from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City.
Taking both indicators into account, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Mexico appear among the countries most affected. In contrast, in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay, the impact seems to have been smaller. The data presented show the enormous challenge in the region that needs to be urgently addressed by policymakers and decision-makers. First, it is necessary to generate and maintain robust and reliable records on different aspects of chronic kidney disease, which includes having data on people at risk for the disease.
In Colombia and Uruguay, programs have been established and resources allocated for renal healthcare. However, in countries like Mexico, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, individuals with chronic kidney disease have little or no access to renal replacement therapies.
