Abstract

Samoa

End-stage renal disease

Nephrology

Chronic Kidney Disease

Early detection, strong primary care and community-based active conservative kidney management must form the foundation of Samoa’s response to chronic kidney disease (CKD). With diabetes driving the majority of CKD and kidney failure cases, prevention and primary care investment must be prioritized to enable the later expansion of nephrology services.
