Global Kidney Health Atlas (GKHA): design and methods.

ABSTRACT: There has been considerable effort within individual countries to improve the care of patients with kidney disease. There has been no concerted attempt to summarize these efforts, and therefore little is known about structuring health systems to facilitate acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD) care and integration with national and international noncommunicable disease strategies. As part of the "Closing the Gaps Initiative," the International Society of Nephrology will conduct for the first time a survey of the current state of global kidney care covering both acute kidney injury and CKD and present the results in a Global Kidney Health Atlas. Data will be collected via an online questionnaire and targeted at national nephrology societies, policymakers, and consumer organiz
