Tratamiento de la ERC de causas no traditionales[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]En condiciones óptimas, la ERC de causas no tradicionales es tratada por medio de diálisis o trasplante de riñón. Desafortunadamente, ambos son procesos difíciles y costosos y no están disponibles para las miles de personas afectadas por ERC de causas no tradicionales. No existen recomendaciones específicas para retrasar el progreso de ERC de causas no tradicionales; los tratamientos para ERC en países desarrollados están dirigidos a las causas más comunes –la obesidad y la hipertensión. Debido a que aquellos que sufren ERC de causas no tradicionales no presentan las mismas condiciones, las mismas recomendaciones no son opciones viables para ellos.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” divider_width=”full_width” margin_top=”20″ margin_bottom=”20″][mk_image src=”http://laislanetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/spanish-translation-of-infographic-wordpress.png” image_width=”800″ image_height=”350″ crop=”false” lightbox=”false” frame_style=”simple” target=”_self” caption_location=”inside-image” align=”center” margin_bottom=”10″ svg=”false” group=”_general”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ bg_color=”#f4f4f4″][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h3″ style=”false” color=”#393836″ size=”26″ font_weight=”inhert” letter_spacing=”2″ margin_top=”19″ margin_bottom=”18″ font_family=”none” align=”center” el_class=”epidemicheader”]RESEARCH[/mk_fancy_title][vc_accordions style=”fancy-style” action_style=”accordion-action” open_toggle=”0″ container_bg_color=”#fff”][vc_accordion_tab title=”Anatomy of a Riot”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]On March 18, 2013, the tensions erupted when a riot broke out in Chichigalpa, the center of sugarcane production in Western Nicaragua.
