Ramón Antonio García-Trabanino, MD, MSc, FASN, FSLANH
PDF7 pages994 KB
Mesoamerican endemic nephropathy (MeN) is a chronic kidney disease with an unclear etiology, predominantly affecting young males in certain geographical areas. The disease is often diagnosed late, typically when patients require urgent dialysis, due to a lack of awareness and accessibility to diagnostic tests. The document emphasizes the need for improved early diagnosis and treatment options, as well as addressing the stigma surrounding the disease that has led to high mortality rates in affected communities.
