reported in 2002 that diabetes, glomerular diseases, and hypertension account for more than 60% of the patients in chronic dialysis; however, the contribution of each disease was not reported. According to the latest available official data (from 2007), the causes of chronic kidney disease in Venezuela are: diabetes (30%), hypertensive glomerulosclerosis (21%), unknown (17· 2%), chronic glomerulonephritis (12· 8%), others (8· 3%), and chronic interstitial glomerulonephritis (6· 3%).It is regrettable and disappointing that official data are not largely available. The Renal Health Programme (Ministerio del Poder Popular de la Salud de Venezuela) is working diligently to resolve this important issue. There have been few papers published regarding kidney diseases in Venezuela, and they were mostly focused on Venezuelan indigenous populations.
