The intensification of globalization dynamics and adaptation of economic liberalization has led to the migration of more than 3.5 million Nepalese over the last decade for employment to some foreign countries, predominantly to Malaysia and the Gulf countries. Recently increased occurrence of chronic kidney disease has been found in the subset of these migrant workers. We aim to study various possible factors contributing to the increased incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this population.
