Relationship between modifiable lifestyle factors and chronic kidney disease: a bibliometric analysis of top-cited publications from 2011 to 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 8 to 16% of the world's population and is one of the top ten important drivers of increasing disease burden.
