[Progress in research of effects of exposure to different-sized particulate matter on chronic kidney disease].

Air pollution is a significant public health problem, and particulate matter, one of the important air pollutants, has attracted global attention for its impact on human health. Although a large number of studies have been conducted to investigate the impacts, previous studies of particulate matter usually focused on the diseases of respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and less attention was paid to the effects of exposure to particulate matter on renal system. This paper systematically analyzes the differences in the effects of exposures to particulate matter with different particle sizes on chronic kidney disease based on the data of a large number of cross-sectional studies and cohort studies, and introduces the influence of multiple effect modifiers on the relationship between exposures to particulate matter and chronic kidney disease. The findings provide a reference for reducing the burden of chronic kidney disease attribute to particulate matter exposure and evidence to support the precise prevention of chronic kidney disease.
