背景：除了高血压和糖尿病外，撒哈拉以南非洲地区还面临着慢性肾病（CKD）的地区特有危险因素，例如肾毒性草药、抗逆转录病毒治疗和感染。然而，该领域的大型流行病学研究很少。方法：在一项非传染性疾病横断面调查中，我们对两个马拉维人群进行了 CKD 患病率子研究。招募了 18 岁及以上的研究参与者 (N=5264)，并收集了人口统计学和 CKD 危险因素的数据。使用 CKD-EPI 方程估算肾小球滤过率 (eGFR)。结果：eGFR 的患病率
Background: Sub-Saharan Africa faces region-specific risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD), such as nephrotoxic herbal medicines, antiretroviral therapy and infections, in addition to hypertension and diabetes. However, large epidemiological studies from this area are scarce. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey of non-communicable diseases, we conducted a prevalence sub-study of CKD in two Malawian populations. Study participants (N=5264) of 18 years of age and above were recruited and data on demographics and CKD risk factors were collected. Glomerular filtration rate was estimated (eGFR) using the CKD-EPI equation. Results: The prevalence of eGFR
