"Kidney disease grows eight percent each year across the globe," said Dr. Krishnan. "The trouble is that many people have kidney disease and don't realize it. Our goal is to help people get to know their kidneys, understand their risk for kidney disease and how a simple blood test can confirm the disease."
According to WorldKidneyDay.org, 600 million people around the world have some form of kidney disease. That number continues to grow and many don't even know they have the disease. When caught early enough, the progression of kidney disease can be slowed down or, in some cases, even prevented with a kidney-friendly diet and help from an integrated care team. If kidney disease continues to progress to end stage renal disease, dialysis or kidney transplantation are the only options for survival. Roughly 1.4 million people worldwide are on dialysis, and that number continues to rise each year.
People at the greatest risk for kidney disease include those with diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as older adults. Minority populations – particularly Hispanics, African-Americans and American Indians – are also at a disproportionately higher rate of developing kidney disease. Additional risk factors include people with cardiovascular disease, obesity, high cholesterol, lupus and a family history of the disease.
