PLOS articles spotlight ISN-GKHA 2023 findings on the international state of kidney care
PLOS Global Public Health recently published a series of articles using data from the third edition of the ISN-Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA), exploring gaps in availability, affordability, quality, and access to kidney care services across countries by World Bank income group classifications.
Read the individual papers in PLOS Global Public Health:
- “Landscape of kidney replacement therapy provision in low- and lower-middle-income countries: A multinational study from the ISN-GKHA,” by Nkunu and Tungsanga et al.
- “Global availability of medications and health technologies for kidney care: A multinational study from the ISN-GKHA,” by Kelly et al.
- “Disparities in kidney care in vulnerable populations: A multinational study from the ISN-GKHA,” by Erickson and Kamath et al.
- “A global snapshot on health systems capacity for detection, monitoring, and management of acute kidney injury: A multinational study from the ISN-GKHA,” by Wainstein et al.
- “Regional hotspots for chronic kidney disease: A multinational study from the ISN-GKHA,” by Garcia et al.
Additionally, Kidney360 recently published “Global policy and advocacy initiatives for improving kidney care: Report from the 2023 ISN-GKHA study,” by Wainstein et al., providing a global overview of the existence and reach of national strategies for kidney care.
The ISN-GKHA data clearly highlights the need for greater global and national prioritization of kidney health to reduce global inequities in access to kidney care.
