Resumen
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public
health concern, affecting an estimated 13.4% of the world’s population
(Lv & Zhang, 2019). Among afro-descendant, indigenous, and agricultural
communities in Latin America, studies have identified a high
prevalence of CKD, frequently undiagnosed and untreated (Correa-Rotter et al., 2014; Garza & Abascal Miguel, 2025; Ulasi et al., 2025). To
effectively reduce the burden of CKD in these populations, it is
essential to assess how the social determinants of health (SDOH) influence
kidney health (Burgos-Calderón et al., 2021). The FRENEL
study is an ongoing multicenter initiative, which to date has screened
4,876 participants from vulnerable agricultural, indigenous, and afrodescendant
communities in Latin America
