Challenges and opportunities in late-stage chronic kidney disease

Abstract: There is increasing recognition that chronic diseases are a major challenge for health delivery systems and treasuries. These are highly prevalent and costly diseases and frequency is expected to increase greatly as the population of many countries ages. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not received the same attention as other chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure; yet, the prevalence and costs of CKD are substantial. Greater recognition and support for CKD may require that the disease no longer be… Show more

“…For chronic kidney disease (CKD), a thorough assessment of the aforementioned aspects is rather straightforward although many epidemiological and economic figures have an unexpectedly large uncertainty in the relevant literature. Chronic kidney disease (listed in chapter N18 of the International Classification of Diseases-ICD10) has a very high-and almost certainly underestimated-prevalence in the general population; most recently published figures range from 5 to 7% in global evaluations [11][12][13], to roughly 8-10% for the adult population in Western countries [14,15]. More specialized studies also claim markedly higher numbers, for example, 16.8% in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of the adult Americans [16,17].…”

“…Overall, Medicare expenditures for CKD totaled US$45.5 billion in 2011, which accounts for 18% of total Medicare dollars (U.S. Renal Data System, 2013b). Despite these substantial consequences, less attention has been paid to CKD compared to other chronic diseases (Fishbane et al, 2015).…”
