KUALA LUMPUR: A recent study on kidney disease found that nearly half of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the country lost their jobs due to their deteriorating health conditions.
The study led by the medical lecturer and nephrology specialist at the Faculty of Medicine and Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Dr Lydia Kamaruzaman, raises concerns about the future of this group, especially those who rely on long-term dialysis treatment.
