Research progress on the relationship between air pollution and chronic kidney disease / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between exposure to air pollutants and chronic kidney disease. Methods We searched and screened the literature on air pollutant exposure and CKD, using Pubmed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases from inception to May 1, 2020. Chronic exposure to air pollutants and risk of chronic kidney disease were estimated. Results Air pollutants can cause kidney damage to varying degrees, and PM2.5 and PM10 can increase the risk of chronic kidney disease. CO, NO2(NOX) and SO2 may increase the risk of chronic kidney disease. Conclusions Exposure to air pollutants, especially particulate matter( PM2.5 and PM10) ，is associated with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease.
