Chronic kidney disease due to hypertension in China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea: trends from the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990–2023

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This counts how much kidney disease caused by high blood pressure there was in China, Japan and South Korea from 1990 to 2023. It uses the Global Burden of Disease database, which estimates illness across whole populations. It shows how the numbers moved over those 33 years, which is a trend, not proof of what drove it. This is background on how common the problem is, not a treatment finding.
