Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Diseases of the kidney and urinary tract contribute to approximately 850,000 deaths every year and 115,010,107 disability adjusted life years. CAKUT constitute the major cause of kidney failure in first 3 decades of life. Late diagnosis & catastrophic presentation is often the rule in in CAKUT, though timely detection and intervention will definitely change the outcome. There is dearth of data on the incidence and prevalence of CAKUT as well as its long-term impact in Indian children. We are launching a novel program for early detection and intervention in antenatally detected CAKUT, starting surveillance in utero, continuing postnatally, in infancy and beyond.
