摘要

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is quite familiar among patients suffering mainly from diabetes mellitus and hypertension. It affects middle aged and older people of both sexes and damages the glomerulus (blood vessels) of the nephron. In 1994, a new severe form of CKD was first reported from the rice farmers in the Northern Central province of Sri Lanka where the patients did not have the conventional risk factors for CKD. The disease, which quickly spread to other farming areas of Sri Lanka and assumed epidemic proportions, has since been designated CKDu, the letter V pointing to its unknown origin. It afflicts mostly male workers in their 30s to 50s. Since its first report, the prevalence of CKDu in Sri Lanka has doubled every eight years, and an estimated 40% of population of Sri Lanka is likely to be affected by CKDu by the year 2032.
