Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the high prevalence of end-stage renal failure of unknown origin (ESRD-UO) among adolescents in Aguascalientes, Mexico, particularly affecting 20-40 year-olds, by screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and identifying associated risk factors.
- - In analyzing 513 students, the research found that 3.7% exhibited persistent albuminuria, though there were no significant homeostatic or anatomical abnormalities detected through renal ultrasound; however, those with albuminuria did show reduced total renal volume.
- - Kidney biopsies revealed glomerulomegaly and various podocyte abnormalities, with identified risk factors linked to environmental exposures and family health history, while a higher BMI and breastfeeding appeared
