Resumo

Aguascalientes, Mexico, has a high incidence and prevalence of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is especially frequent in young people ages 20-40 years in whom the cause of CKD was unknown, although kidney biopsies frequently showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and glomerulomegaly.
