TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a multistage sampling technique to identify possible etiologies and risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients from the north central region of Sri Lanka.

TL;DR: It is very likely that the unique hydrogeochemistry of the drinking water is closely associated with the incidence of the CKD with uncertain etiology in Sri Lanka.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tubulointerstitial damage as the major pathological lesion in endemic chronic kidney disease among farmers in North Central Province of Sri Lanka
Shanika Nanayakkara,Toshiyuki Komiya,Neelakanthi Ratnatunga,S.T.M.L.D. Senevirathna,Kouji H. Harada,Toshiaki Hitomi,Glenda C. Gobe,Eri Muso,Tilak Abeysekera,Akio Koizumi +9 more
TL;DR: Tubulointerstitial damage is the major pathological lesion in CKDu, and exposure(s) to an environmental pathogen should be systematically investigated to elucidate such tubuloInterstitial damage in CK Du.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An Integrative Study of the Genetic, Social and Environmental Determinants of Chronic Kidney Disease Characterized by Tubulointerstitial Damages in the North Central Region of Sri Lanka finds that these determinants are driven by genetic, social and environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of tubular damage in the very early stage of chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka: a cross-sectional study
Shanika Nanayakkara,S.T.M.L.D. Senevirathna,Upul Karunaratne,Rohana Chandrajith,Kouji H. Harada,Toshiaki Hitomi,Takao Watanabe,Tilak Abeysekera,T. N. C. Aturaliya,Akio Koizumi +9 more
TL;DR: The present study indicates that renal tubular damage occurs in the very early stage of CKDue and demonstrates the existence of familial clustering, suggesting that CKDue is likely to be the outcome of exposure to an unknown nephrotoxin in susceptible subjects in the endemic region.
