Abstrakt:	The article discusses the urgent need for public health action to address the epidemic of chronic kidney disease from nontraditional causes (CKDnT) in Central America. The disease primarily affects young adult male agricultural workers in farming communities in countries such as Nicaragua and El Salvador. The causes of CKDnT are not yet fully understood, but potential factors include the misuse of agrochemicals and harsh working conditions. The article emphasizes the importance of coordinated efforts from various sectors, such as agriculture, trade, and environment, to address the disease and mitigate its health, social, and economic consequences.
