Kidneys play a very important role in waste excretion, blood pressure control, bone development, and electrolyte balance. End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a life threatening condition which occurs when kidneys stop functioning. ESRD cannot be cured. However, there are two renal replacement therapy options available viz, kidney transplant and dialysis. Dialysis is a procedure for removing the waste products from the body by simulating the functioning of the kidneys. There are two types of dialysis options viz, Hemo Dialysis (HD) that is machine dialysis done at hospitals and Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) done at home by patients themselves. Most ESRD patients have to do dialysis throughout their lives unless kidney transplantation can be done.
It is estimated that about 1,00,000 persons suffer from ESRD each year, of which only about 20,000 get treated. Over 3/4th of the people suffering from ESRD do not get treated at all, largely due to a lack of awareness of the disease and treatment options, inadequate access to care and affordability. Affordability is hampered by low incomes, low reimbursement for chronic illnesses and low penetration of insurance. This is peculiar to India as most other countries in Asia reimburse a large proportion of a patient’s spend on dialysis through social welfare measures. Renal disease is growing rapidly in India because of the high prevalence of diabetes and heart disease, which are the root causes of ESRD. The mean age of ESRD patients in India is between 32 and 42 years, compared to 60 and 63 years in developed countries. Estimates suggest that there are about 14,500 surviving patients on Hemodialysis and about 3,000 surviving patients on Peritoneal Dialysis in India. | | |
Having chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases your chance of premature death. This is because people with CKD are more likely to develop heart and blood vessel disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death among kidney patients.Your doctor should order some simple tests to see if you have CKD. People with diabetes or hypertension are at increased risk. There are also other risk factors for CKD.More than 2 among 5 adults have CKD, and most don’t even know it. Millions of others are at increased risk for developing CKD and its complications. Early detection and treatment can keep kidney disease from getting worse and prevent complications like kidney failure, heart disease and premature death. | | | | For more information visit : www.nephrolife.in | | To talk to a nephrologist - email us at info@nephrolife.in
