A new study published in Kidney International Reports highlights how the air we breathe affects our kidneys.

Titled, “Long term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and kidney function in urban Indian adults” the study explores how environmental exposures influence cardio-kidney-metabolic health and reinforces the need to address air pollution as a public health priority.

In a population-representative cohort of 12271 adults (aged 20 years and older) in two Indian cities (Chennai and Delhi), the team investigated time-varying associations between annual average ambient PM2.5 and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a key measure of kidney health.

These findings are important in the context of the ambient PM2.5 exposure linked to high burdens of multiple chronic conditions and the unique pathophysiology of cardio-kidney-metabolic diseases.

We congratulate Prof Dorairaj Prabhakaran, Dr Sailesh Mohan, Dr Poornima Prabhakaran, Dr Ruby Gupta, Dr Siddhartha Mandal and our long time collaborators Ram Jagannathan, Shuchi Anan, Mohammed K. Ali, K.M.Venkat Narayan, Viswanathan Mohan, Joel D. Schwartz, Nikhil Tandon,
for this landmark study and its successful publication.
