Table 2.

Projected high temperature-attributable burden of kidney disease for future periods centred on 2030, and 2050 (annual average number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)), and the projected percentage change (%) compared to the baseline (2003–2018), under scenarios of constant population and medium population growth, adaptation to climate change (none, partial, full), and two representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5, RCP8.5). Estimates are the mean across eight climate models.
