Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the differences in chronic kidney disease (CKD) management and characteristics between Kuwaiti citizens and expatriates, revealing that expatriates face restricted access to public health services and lower incomes, impacting their health outcomes.
- - Data from 2,610 CKD patients showed that Kuwaitis were older with slightly lower kidney function (eGFR), but exhibited better blood pressure and diabetes control compared to expatriates, who had overall higher kidney function but poorer management of diabetes and hypertension.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that CKD is predominantly caused by diabetes and hypertension, particularly in expatriates, and stresses the need for improved healthcare access, better treatment utilization, and more effective antihypertensive therapies for all patients.
