Kidney Disease Mortality Rate Per 100,000 People

Every year, tens of thousands of lives are quietly lost to a silent killer, kidney disease. Why do some nations face mortality rates exceeding 70 deaths per 100,000 people while others, like Nigeria, report far lower numbers? Could lifestyle choices, diet, and exposure to environmental toxins be driving this crisis? And how much do counterfeited consumer products, fake or substandard medications contribute to worsening kidney health? Behind these numbers lies a complex story of vulnerability, survival, and an urgent need for awareness and action.
