Introduction: An unusual number of Chronic kidney disease (CKD) cases have been reported from the village of Supebeda of district Gariyaband in Chhattisgarh. Recent studies have shown that the clinical profile of CKD patients in this village fits into the profile of CKD of Unknown Origin (CKDu). Objectives: We conducted this study to explore the perception of the community about CKD in Supebeda. Material __ampersandsignamp; Methods: This study was undertaken as a part of the outreach initiative of the Health Department of the Government of Chhattisgarh from October 2019 to January 2020. We conducted six In-depth Interviews (IDI) on a purposive sample of CKD patients and one Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with 11 mitanins (ASHA workers). Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data was analyzed manually using discourse analysis. Results: All six respondents of IDI were farmers and had nonspecific symptoms of body aches, loss of appetite __ampersandsignamp; weakness. They sought treatment from private practitioners from the nearby state of Odisha because of proximity and preferred to go to Raipur only when they needed advanced treatment. The majority of these patients had received analgesics, herbal and ayurvedic drugs from rural practitioners. The study also revealed stigmatization of the village because of this disease. The participants of FGD were of opinion that CKD in the village was due to consumption of contaminated water and that it has led to ostracization of the village and reduced opportunity to get employment for the people of Supebeda. Conclusion: We document community perception and health-seeking behavior of a remote village in Chhattisgarh state with a high prevalence of CKD. The study revealed a strong influence of socio-economic determinants, the influence of local myths, difficulties in accessing healthcare and stigma associated with kidney disease.
