Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how prenatal exposure to metals influences kidney function in adolescents, specifically through measuring metal concentrations in the blood during pregnancy and their association with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in teenagers.
- Results showed that higher levels of certain metals like cadmium, chromium, nickel, and vanadium in the first trimester correlated with lower eGFR, but these findings were not statistically significant after accounting for multiple comparisons.
- The research emphasizes the need for further exploration of how prenatal environmental factors, particularly metal exposure, could impact long-term kidney health and function.
Objectives: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for one-third of disability-adjusted life years in Malawi, and access to care is exceptionally limited. Integrated services with HIV are widely recommended, but few examples exist globally. We report descriptive outcomes from an Integrated Chronic Care Clinic (IC3).
