Abstract
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its risk factors
is increasing worldwide, and the rapid rise in global need
for end-stage kidney disease care is a major challenge for
health systems, particularly in low- and middle-income
countries. Countries are responding to the challenge of
end-stage kidney disease in different ways, with variable
provision of the components of a kidney care strategy,
including effective prevention, detection, conservative
care, kidney transplantation, and an appropriate mix of
dialysis modalities. This collection of case studies is from 15
countries from around the world and offers valuable
learning examples from a variety of contexts. The
variability in approaches may be explained by country
differences in burden of disease, available human or
financial resources, income status, and cost structures. In
addition, cultural considerations, political context, and
competing interests from other stakeholders must be
considered. Although the approaches taken have often
varied substantially, a common theme is the potential
benefits of multistakeholder engagement aimed at
improving the availability and scope of integrated kidney
care.
