Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant health burden in rural areas of India, with environmental factors, overexertion, and limited access to healthcare contributing to its prevalence. This research article aims to explore the incidence of CKD in specific rural regions, identify its causes, and propose preventive strategies. Evidence from recent studies underscores the urgent need for interventions to improve access to clean water, enhance healthcare infrastructure, and promote patient education to mitigate the impact of CKD in rural communities.
