Since being diagnosed with CKD, as you know, I keep pretty close tabs on the subject these days.
The number of people suffering from the disease still amazes me. One island community in Nicaragua has been so hard hit that they call it "The Island of Widows".
Between 2005 and 2009, more than 2800 men died each year in this area near the sugar cane fields.
Another Latin American country that's been hit hard is El Salvador where Chronic Kidney Disease is now the second leading cause of death among adult men.
