For two decades now, cases and deaths from chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been on the rise in parts of the Americas. General prevalence in the Central American region varies from 10% to 16%. CKD-specific mortality is high in several countries: Nicaragua (42.8/100,000 population), El Salvador (41.9), Peru (19.1), Guatemala (13.6) and Panama (12.3). Canada and Cuba have reported the lowest CKD mortality in the hemisphere, and El Salvador’s is 17 times that of Cuba.
