Decreased Kidney Function Among Agricultural Workers in El Salvador
Sandra Peraza,Catharina Wesseling,Aurora Aragón,Ricardo Leiva,Ramón García-Trabanino,Cecilia Torres,Kristina Jakobsson,Carl Gustaf Elinder,Christer Hogstedt +8 more
TL;DR: Agricultural work on lowland sugarcane and cotton plantations was associated with decreased kidney function in men and women, possibly related to strenuous work in hot environments with repeated volume depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin in Mesoamerica: a disease primarily driven by occupational heat stress
Catharina Wesseling,Jason Glaser,Julieta Rodríguez-Guzmán,Ilana Weiss,Rebekah A. I. Lucas,Sandra Peraza,Agnes Soares da Silva,Erik Hansson,Richard J. Johnson,Christer Hogstedt,David H. Wegman,Kristina Jakobsson +11 more
TL;DR: Work is the main driver of the CKDnt epidemic in Mesoamerica, with occupational heat stress being the single uniting factor shown to lead to kidney dysfunction in affected populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Workload and cross-harvest kidney injury in a Nicaraguan sugarcane worker cohort
Erik Hansson,Jason Glaser,Ilana Weiss,Ulf Ekström,Jenny Apelqvist,Christer Hogstedt,Sandra Peraza,Rebekah A. I. Lucas,Kristina Jakobsson,Catharina Wesseling,David H. Wegman +10 more
TL;DR: Workers considered to have the highest workload had more cross-harvest kidney damage than workers with less workload and work practices preventing heat stress should be strengthened and their role in preventing kidney damage examined further.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preventing kidney injury among sugarcane workers: promising evidence from enhanced workplace interventions.
Jason Glaser,Erik Hansson,Ilana Weiss,Catharina Wesseling,Kristina Jakobsson,Ulf Ekström,Jenny Apelqvist,Rebekah A. I. Lucas,Esteban Arias Monge,Sandra Peraza,Christer Hogstedt,David H. Wegman +11 more
TL;DR: The results support further efforts to prevent kidney injury among sugarcane workers, and other heat-stressed workers, by improving access to water, rest and shade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat stress: a cause of chronic kidney disease along the Mesoamerican west coast?
Catharina Wesseling,Aurora Aragón,Sandra Peraza,Christer Hogstedt,Tord Kjellstrom,Maria Albin,Carl-Gustav Elinder,Kristina Jakobsson +7 more
TL;DR: Harsh and hot work on plantations and in mines in the Pacific lowlands appear related to the Mesoamerican CKD epidemic, possibly through chronic dehydration interacting with other environmental or occupational risk factors.
