Description
Kidney disease and throat infections are linked in a 2024 Korean study by Kwon and co-authors. The team used national records from 2002 to 2019 to follow a large matched cohort. More than sixteen thousand adults with kidney disease were compared with about four times as many similar adults without it.
Rates of a painful pus pocket near the tonsils and of deep neck infection were tracked over time. Overall, kidney disease did not raise the rate of these infections in the full group. Some subgroups showed a lower rate of the tonsil problem instead. The authors urge care teams not to assume higher risk for all kidney patients, and to watch subgroups with care.
