Researchers' Perceived Challenges in Studying Chronic Kidney Disease of Nontraditional Etiology in Mesoamerica.

CONCLUSIONS Producing high quality and clinically relevant studies to address chronic kidney disease of nontraditional etiology in the resource-scarce Mesoamerican research climate has been fraught with challenges. These findings contextualize the progress that has been made in understanding chronic kidney disease of nontraditional etiology to date and highlight the need for public health and biomedical organizations to support researchers' ongoing efforts to engage all stakeholders in addressing the epidemic, disseminate their research findings and identify feasible strategies for addressing the community-wide suffering caused by chronic kidney disease of nontraditional etiology. KEYWORDS Chronic kidney disease, chronic renal insufficiency, chronic renal failure, chronic kidney failure, interstitial nephritis, qualitative research, epidemiology, occupational health, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Mesoamerica, Nicaragua.
