Chronic Kidney Diseases are caused worldwide due to climatic changes as the temperatures and heat is increasing day by day. This rise in temperatures can cause stress that will harm the kidneys. It is found that many rural communities from the hot region are marked with the chronic kidney disease. All over the world due to the high-temperature body is getting dehydrated and that is affecting kidneys which cause poor kidney health in future.
“A new type of kidney disease, occurring throughout the world in hot areas, is linked with temperature and climate and may be one of the first epidemics due to global warming,” said Richard Johnson, from the University of Colorado in the US.
Especially for farmers and other people who work for agriculture lands are getting affected more with this Chronic Kidney Disease, as these people are exposed to sunlight and extreme heat environment.
Researchers said that the epidemics of the chronic kidney disease are caused due to decreasing amounts of rain as the water supplies are getting less.
“We were able to connect increased rates of chronic kidney disease in different areas to an underlying mechanism — heat stress and dehydration — and to climate,” Johnson said.
In the clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN) will publish the detailed report regarding this issue. The researchers also said that the government and scientists should work together to learn more about the threat.
