摘要

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public health problem and is projected to become the fifth highest contributor to years of life lost by 2040.1 Morbidity and mortality of patients with CKD are profoundly impacted by social determinants of health,2 and among all noncommunicable diseases, the prognosis of patients with CKD might be the most susceptible to socioeconomic status, political contexts, environmental factors, and their stability. Recently, many disruptions have impacted global access to kidney diagnostic modalities, treatments, and care along with devastating effects on human health in general and wellbeing. These disruptions include, but are not limited to, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts, economic catastrophes as are the cases in Lebanon and Sri Lanka, and natural and man-made disasters such as the Beirut blast in Lebanon. In addition, changing climate patterns with extreme weather events have been linked to increased risk of both the development and exacerbation of CKD.3 Consequently, startling inequities in kidney care, already established with significant gaps in oversight, funding, and infrastructure to support care for patients with kidney disease, are likely to deepen further, especially in low-income countries and low-middle-income countries (LMICs).4 Therefore, the theme of this year’s World Kidney Day “Kidney Health for All-Preparing for the Unexpected, Supporting the Vulnerable!,” is indeed, and without a doubt, timely and suitable.
