Data Challenges in Addressing Chronic Kidney Disease in Low- and Lower-Middle-Income Countries.

ABSTRACT: The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is growing globally, particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) where access to treatment is poor and the largest increases in disease burden will occur. The individual and societal costs of kidney disease are well recognized, especially in developed health care systems where treatments for the advanced stages of CKD are more readily available. The consequences of CKD are potentially more catastrophic in developing health care systems where such resources are often lacking. Central to addressing this challenge is the availability of data to understand disease burden and ensure that investments in treatments and health resources are effective at a local level. Use of routinely collected administrative data is helpful in this re
