Article A Peer reviewed Meta-analysis or large trial

Key takeaways

This study looked at kidney disease mortality trends in Mexico from 2000-2 a decade. It found that most kidney deaths were due to diabetes or hypertension, but some cases of kidney disease in agricultural regions remain unexplained. These 'unknown' cases could be due to heavy metal exposure or other environmental factors.
