Too few people receive counseling prior to dialysis - Reference: Adapted from USRDS Annual Data Report (NIDDK, 2010)
The burden of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure CKD is reduced kidney function and/or kidney damage - Chronic Kidney Disease
- Kidney function
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for > 3 months with or without kidney damage
- AND/OR
- Kidney damage
- > 3 months, with or without decreased GFR, manifested by
- either
- Pathological abnormalities
- Markers of kidney damage, i.e., proteinuria (albuminuria)
- - Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) > 30 mg/g
- Reference: Kidney International Supplements, 2013; 3(1): 5-14
Kidney failure is defined as eGFR < 15 - The kidneys cannot maintain homeostasis.
- The four options for treating kidney failure include:
- Renal replacement therapy (RRT)
- Hemodialysis
- Peritoneal dialysis
- 4. Active medical management without RRT
U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) - USRDS is a national data system funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).
- USRDS collects, analyzes, and distributes information about the actual number of people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis or with a kidney transplant and the estimated number of people with CKD.
