Methods: The case-control study focused on human populations living in the CKDu prevalent North Central region (NCR) of Sri Lanka. A sample population of 110 individuals (55 cases and 55 controls) was selected based on CKDu health screening records from affected communities. Caseswere individuals who tested positive for albuminuria and had renal changes consistent with CKD without the presence of diabetes or hypertension. Controls were patients with similar exposures, but negative for albuminuria and CKD. The oral survey tool was translated fromEnglish to Sinhalese and administered by Sri Lankan research staff. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to model risk factors associated with CKDu diagnosis.
