Reporting chronic kidney disease in Greenland
Conclusion: This is the first study reporting CKD in Greenland. We found a lower prevalence of CKD than reported by other studies, and a low number of patients correctly diagnosed with CKD. We call for increased awareness and diagnosis coding of CKD in Greenland.PMID:37742312 | PMC:PMC10519261 | DOI:10.1080/22423982.2023.2261223 (Source: International Journal of Circumpolar Health)
