CKD Treatment

pay attention to early diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease
Although advances in medical technology have already gives us simple, early detection of kidney disease and effective method of prevention methods, however, has not been widely known and applied. When people put more eyes on common chronic hypertension, diabetes prevention and control work, they were ignored an equally important, and involving the broader disease - chronic kidney disease. Only for the treatment of end-stage of the disease stage - uremia, the world needs to spend billions every year and even billions of dollars, countries and individuals have to bear a huge financial burden.
Attention to kidney damage

The kidney is one of the most important organs of the basic life-sustaining activities. Insidious onset of chronic kidney disease, the lack of or very few obvious clinical manifestations, so early treatment rate is very low, has entered in many patients with advanced or uremia treatment, often accompanied by severe complications and high mortality, treatment cost very high. Chronic kidney disease is like "stealth killer," go hand in hand along with a variety of common chronic hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, gout, cardiovascular disease, and ultimately cause serious kidney damage. The huge cost of treatment and high mortality to the community, family and individual to bring a heavy burden. Because of our long-term kidney disease, neglect and underestimate that we on the side of this "silent killer" turned a blind eye, delaying the early diagnosis, but also missed the best time for treatment.

As people continue to kidney disease awareness and attention, in 1999 the American Kidney Foundation (NKF) published the "progression of chronic kidney disease detection and prevention guidelines / quality of life in patients with kidney disease guide (K / DOQI)" formally proposed the concept of chronic kidney disease. Definition of chronic kidney disease will depend on whether there is evidence of kidney damage and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) comprehensive judgment. Which, combined with the individual's age, weight and serum creatinine, creatinine using the formula extrapolated glomerular filtration rate better than the traditionally used to reflect the early kidney damage, kidney disease, which will further expand and extend the scope to make more benefit many patients.

According to the new definition of chronic kidney disease, the US Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the United States chronic kidney disease rates up to 11%, 1-5 chronic kidney disease rate reached 3.3%, respectively, 3.0%, 4.3 %, 0.2%, 0.1%. This means that in the United States, every nine healthy in there one case of chronic kidney disease, while others are under more chronic kidney disease risk factors. Although China has not yet relevant epidemiological data, but a large number of chronic kidney disease was missed and delaying diagnosis is indeed reality.
