ABSTRACT
Chronic Kidney Disease affects approximately 10% of the world's adult population it is within the top 20 causes of death worldwide, and its impact on patients and their families can be devastating. World Kidney Day and International Women's Day in 2018 coincide, thus offering an opportunity to reflect on the importance of women's health and specifically their kidney health, on the community, and the next generations, as well as to strive to be more curious about the unique aspects of kidney disease in women so that we may apply those learnings more broadly. Girls and women, who make up approximately 50% of the world's population, are important contributors to society and their families. Gender differences continue to exist around the world in access to education, medical care, and participation in clinical studies. Pregnancy is a unique state for women, offering an opportunity for diagnosis of kidney disease, but also a state where acute and chronic kidney diseases may manifest, and which may impact future generations with respect to kidney health. There are various autoimmune and other conditions that are more likely to impact women with profound consequences for child bearing, and on the fetus. Women have different complications on dialysis than men, and are more likely to be donors than recipients of kidney transplants. In this editorial, we focus on what we do and do not know about women, kidney health, and kidney disease, and what we might learn in the future to improve outcomes worldwide
RESUMEN
La Enfermedad Renal Crónica afecta cerca del 10% de la población mundial adulta es una de las primeras 20 causas de muerte en el mundo y el impacto de la enfermedad en el paciente y sus familias puede ser devastador. En el 2018 el Día Mundial del Riñón y el Día Internacional de la Mujer coinciden, ofreciéndonos una oportunidad para demostrar el impacto que tiene la salud de la mujer, específicamente su salud renal, en la comunidad y en las generaciones futuras, fomentar el conocimiento sobre aspectos específicos de la enfermedad renal en la mujer y poder aplicarlos de forma extensiva. Las mujeres y niñas representan aproximadamente el 50% de la población mundial, siendo integrantes fundamentales de la sociedad y de sus familias. Las diferencias de género persisten alrededor del mundo, afectando su acceso a la educación, cuidados de salud y su inclusión en estudios clínicos. Actualmente, el embarazo en la mujer es una etapa única que ofrece la oportunidad de diagnosticar la enfermedad renal, donde las enfermedades renales agudas y crónicas pueden manifestarse, lo cual podría impactar en la salud renal de las generaciones futuras. Existen varias enfermedades autoinmunes y algunos otros factores que afectan más comúnmente a la mujer, con serias consecuencias durante el embarazo para la madre y para el feto. Las mujeres en diálisis en comparación con los hombres tienen complicaciones diferentes; además son más comúnmente donadoras que receptoras del trasplante renal Nos enfocamos en que hacemos y en que no conocemos sobre la mujer, la salud y enfermedad renal, y que podemos aprender para mejorar sus condiciones en todo el mundo
