World Kidney Day at AKU
One Out of Three Pakistanis have Kidney Disease
“Chronic kidney disease is a common medical problem worldwide and estimates in Pakistan show that one in three citizens over 40 has some form of kidney disease,” said Dr Waqar Kashif, Consultant Nephrologist at Aga Khan University (AKU). Studies show that diabetes and high blood pressure are the two most common causes of chronic kidney disease and, if left unchecked, patients would ultimately need to undergo dialysis up to three times a week to stay alive. He was speaking at a programme organised by the University on March 6, 2008 to commemorate World Kidney Day.
