: Ethical approval was received from the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) Research Ethics Committee (reference number GC/127/946), the Uganda National Council of Science and Technology (HS2578ES) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine institutional review board (28797). Information about the study appropriate for adults, semi-literate adults and children was provided in an information booklet that was read to the participants and caregivers. All the participants more than 18 years of age provided written informed consent. Those below 18 years of age provided assent, and their caregivers provided written informed consent. If a child refused to provide assent even after their caregiver had provided consent, that child was not enrolled into the study. All participants had the option to withdraw at any point during the research. All participants with suspected CKD were referred to a nephrologist for management.
