Risk factors for long-term decline in kidney function amongst Malawian adults living in rural Karonga: protocol for a prospective cohort study

2025-08-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rising, disproportionately impacting on low- and middle-income countries.
