Damage of Chronic Kidney Failure--CKF

Morbidity of Chronic Kidney Failure increases gradually around the world in recent years. Chronic Kidney Failure has become one of the major diseases only after cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, tumor and diabetics. Acute Kidney Failure has also becomes a public health issue all over the world.
Damage of Chronic Kidney Failure--CKF
1. Firstly, those who suffer from Kidney Failure resulting from the loss of renal function may require dialysis or kidney transplantation.
2. And much more than this, lots of patients with CKF have been died from cardiovascular diseases before they even developed to kidney failure.
3. On annual medical expenses on average, uremic patients can spend as much as about 8,000-16,000 USD, thereinto, hemodialysis around 8,000-16,000 USD while peritoneal dialysis about 10,000-16,000 USD. While high-priced treatment becomes unbearable heavy burdens for their families as well as for the society. For this reason, quite a deal of families undergo “being into poverty because of illness or return to poverty owing to the disease”.
4. Those Americans who are over the age of 40, their morbidity of suffering from CRF can be 11%.
5. 1.0% of Americans patients with ESRD (end-stage renal diseases) occupy 7.0% of medical expenses.
6. CRF and uremia cost 24.0% of total medical budgets in the United States.
7. Morbidity of CRF is 8%-9% in China. (according to a small sample survey)
8. Unawareness rate of their own Renal Diseases can reach up to 90% in China.
Developing and undeveloped countries which accounts for 80% of global population, while only 10% of patients in those countries are able to receive dialysis; hence, those patients with ESRF in developing and undeveloped countries, most of them have no chance at all to take dialysis treatment.
As the serious damage of Chronic Kidney Failure all listed above, slowing the progression of the kidney damage means a lot of delaying progression and improving prognosis. For more information, leave a message below or send an e-mail to khkpcn@hotmail.com.
