Multi-Factorial Etiology: Other Sources? u Heat exposure + volume depletion + social/economic factors + behavioral factors + family history + environmental risks + ??? Uric acid and chronic kidney disease (Johnson et al, 2013) Future Research Future Treatment ► Standardize case definition of CKDu ► Standardize exposure measurements ► Increase access to health care for early • Workload detection and dialysis • Heat exposure ► Safe and fair labor practices • Volume depletion ► Re-assignment of financial resources to • Agrochemical exposure poorest, rural areas • Heavy metal exposure ► Protection of drinking water ► Focus on AKI and biomarkers pre- and post-work shift or harvest season ► Global collaboration among researchers 7
3/8/18 Summary Questions?
