Dr Behram Ali Khan, medical director of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), said that there has been a worrying increase in patients with chronic kidney disease here in recent years.

A person is said to have this condition when they have had kidney disease for more than three months, he said.

In Singapore, this is typically the result of hypertension, diabetes, or a combination of the two.

"Both of these conditions are very prevalent in Singapore," said Dr Behram, adding that based on several studies, about two out of three Singaporeans are at risk of developing chronic kidney disease in their lifetime.

"There is a continuous and progressive trend of more patients entering dialysis every year," he said, noting that the NKF has been seeing more than 100 applications for admission every month, up from about 60 a month a few years ago.

Eating too much salt could be the cause.

Diet ?

I think all these stems from the bad diet and lack of exercise on the part of the patient........

Oh NO … some in SGtalk will blame it on the mRNA vaccine 

Highly suspicious this unnatural increase in kidney disease in SG recently could be probably due to jabbing mRNA vaccine

Highly unlikely the vaccine is the cause of kidney failure, more about the salt and sugar intakes.......

The trend has been going on for a few years so unlikely to be caused by vaccines.
