Reframing Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu): A Hydrogeochemical and Technological Perspective on Water Extraction Practices

2026-02-06

Abstract excerpt

Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu) represents one of the most persistent unresolved epidemics in global environmental health, affecting rural agricultural communities in Sri Lanka and comparable tropical regions. Here, we propose a conceptual shift in CKDu research by linking the disease not only to chemical exposure but also to technological transformation in water extraction. Synthesizing epidemio...
