• Description:
  Objective: This research aims to answer if: Heat stress in the work place, is a variable directly related to the development of chronic kidney disease? Methods: For this analysis of association between exposure to occupational heat stress and development of chronic kidney disease, an exhaustive search of scientific literature was conducted, which met the subject of interest in several online databases, such as PubMed and Science Direct. Results: In overall, the different investigators found out that men were more disadvantaged than women when facing kidney problems, because they are the ones who predominate, usually in tasks of planting and harvesting coffee, cotton, sugar cane, among other activities in Central America countries. Conclusion: It is an immediate situation that needs attention in many other places where the weather is extremely hot and many workers are exposed to high metabolic demands, which also may ignore the risk of kidney disease to which they are exposed every day.
