TL;DR: Proteinuric-CKD of uncertain etiology is prevalent in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka, in contrast, known risk factors were associated with CKD in the Central and Southern Provinces.

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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycotoxin Detection in Urine Samples from Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease of Uncertain Etiology in Sri Lanka
Biruck Desalegn,Shanika Nanayakkara,Kouji H. Harada,Toshiaki Hitomi,Rohana Chandrajith,Upul Karunaratne,Tilak Abeysekera,Akio Koizumi +7 more
TL;DR: The higher detection rate of urinary ochratoxins in Sri Lankans indicates that exposure to nephrotoxic mycotoxins is common in the region, while healthy Japanese individuals had lower levels than in Sri Lanka.
