Abstract
Evidence on the strength of the association between low SES and chronic kidney disease
(CKD; measured by low estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], high albuminuria,
low eGFR/high albuminuria, and renal failure) is scattered and sometimes conflicting.
Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to summarize the strength
of the associations between SES and CKD and identify study-level characteristics related
to this association.
