Summary

This study checked how many Brazilian adults with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure have undiagnosed chronic kidney disease (CKD). Over 8,000 people were tested with a simple finger-stick device that measures creatinine. Those with abnormal results were referred for a standard lab test and a kidney specialist visit. The goal was to estimate CKD rates across Brazil and see if they vary by region.
