Salinity is a very common problem in Bangladesh. Due to environmental changes see level is rises day by day and CKD is also rising.
A high salt intake can put the blood pressure up and cause chronic kidney disease, but that has no relation to sea level rise, from what I have found out.
Here CKD expressed as chronic kidney diseases. Mr Ali Hussien. Thank you. Palash.
Dear Michael Issigonis, thank you for your reply but you know that due to global warming sea level is rising day by day. The sea water enter into the river which is frequently used by the farmers and sometimes used for drinking by the mass population. Thank you. Palash.
It has been observed that the areas with higher salinity has greater prevalence of CKD compared to the areas with lower salinity, but it wasn't clearly expressed that salinity is a causative factor for the development of CKD.
Thanking with,
Rajib Mondal
Yes, since high salt intake is an important factor in both hypertension and CKD, higher salinity (NaCl or other Na salts) in drinking water will be associated with CKD.
Higher salt intake causes CKD in multiple ways like causing hypertension and related deterioration in kidney function, proteinuria etc.
hope this helps
Dear Amrita Sarker, Thank you for the input but my concern about the hidden cronic kidney diseases or indiagnosed parients. Best, Palash
