There has been a lot of attention paid toward the increasing number of patients with this ailment. It is quite important because it’s a major cause of hospitalizations, morbidity, mortality and rising cost of healthcare.

The cost of providing care for patients with CKD including ESKD account for about 7 % of the Medicare budget for a condition that afflicts about 1% of the population. The cost runs into several billions of dollars per year,

It is therefore important to find way to ameliorate the rising cost. The major causes of CKF are diabetes mellitus and hypertension,

our efforts therefore should be geared towards preventing the onset of these problems, controlling adequately these conditions and treating in the most appropriate and cost effective manner.

Dietary approach, weight management and adherence to medical regimens will go a long way in controlling the rising incidence of CKD.

The next segment will feature on the stages of CKD.

Hope you have enjoyed this short article and would welcome your comments.

The Covid 19 pandemic has been a deadly nuisance on the health of the entire world. Luckily the speedy development and implementation of the vaccination program has resulted in partially curtailing the virulence of the virus.

However ensuring that those with assess to the vaccination actually utilize the program remain a daunting task which requires all health professionals to be advocates of the Covid 19 vaccination program.

Similarly it also beholds that the wealthier nations make the vaccination program available to the countries without adequate resources and distribution strategy. Together we can curtail this pandemic and render it less harmful.

I urge all those who remain on the fence to please get vaccinated and together we can all become advocates of this life saving measures.

Get vaccinated now if not already vaccinated.

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

PD is a needle-free treatment that you can perform at home during the day or even at night while you sleep by using the lining of the abdomen to filter waste from the blood. 

Some of the potential benefits of PD include:

• Control of your own treatment and a more-flexible schedule

Home dialysis patients can dialyze from the comfort of home, giving them better control of their treatment schedules, more time for themselves, their families, their jobs and the activities they enjoyed before starting dialysis. 

If you currently dialyze in a center, home dialysis could potentially be an option for you. Learn about the types of dialysis you can perform at home and discuss with your physician.
