Prevalence studies on Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) need stringent reporting on outcomes following existing guidelines. Only by doing so, the much-needed comparisons between occupations, regions and climates for the elucidation of the etiology/etiologies of CKDu, and subsequently for its prevention, are possible. We, here, comment on methodological issues in a recently published study on rice farmers from West Java, Indonesia.
对病因不明的慢性肾脏病（CKDu）的流行情况研究需要按照现有指南严格报告结果。只有这样，才能对阐明 CKDu 的病因/病因学以及随后进行预防所需的职业、地区和气候之间进行必要的比较。我们在此对最近发表的一项关于印度尼西亚西爪哇省稻农的研究中的方法学问题进行评论。
