Abstract

The cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) cannot be ascertained in a substantial proportion of patients in developing countries. Whether there is a systematic difference between the characteristics of these patients and those with known causes of CKD is not known. We present differences in the baseline profile of subjects with CKD-cause unknown (CKD-CU) versus those with known causes of CKD who are enrolled in the ongoing, multicentric Indian Chronic Kidney Disease (ICKD) study in India.
