Decreased renal function and associated factors in cities towns and rural areas of Tanzania: a community‐based population survey

摘要

ObjectivesData on renal dysfunction in sub‐Saharan Africa, comparing urban and rural areas, have not yet been reported. Therefore, we aimed to determine the distribution of low estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) in urban and rural Tanzania, to describe factors associated with low eGFR and to quantify fractions attributable to common risk factors.
