A multinational study including NIMS nephrologist concludes the finding

Hyderabad: Farmers and daily wage labourers working in burned sugarcane could be at the risk of developing Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu). A multinational original research article, including a nephrologist from Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Telangana, India, has concluded that ‘human exposure to amorphous silica nanoparticles found in burned  sugarcane fields could have a participatory role in chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology’.

Ash enriched in silica nanoparticles is generated when sugarcane fields are burned prior to harvesting. The original research article titled ‘Inhaled Silica Nanoparticles Causes Chronic Kidney Disease in Rats’ is published in American Journal of Physiology at end of May this year.

Specialists from India, United States, Nicaragua, Mexico, Thailand and other countries contributed to the study. Professor and head of Nephrology department at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences in Telangana, Dr Gangadhar Taduri is part of the team. The professor said that they have initiated the idea, which led to the discussion and the research article.
