About Kidney Disease
The International Society of Nephrology estimates that over 850 million people worldwide have some form of kidney disease, approximately twice that of diabetes (422 million) and 20 times more than cancer. By this estimate, kidney disease affects 10.4% of men and 11.8% of women worldwide.
In the US, chronic kidney disease affects over 40 million adults and kills more people than breast or prostate cancer. The co-occurrence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease multiplies a patient's risk of death. Commonly referred to as a "silent disease" it is often asymptomatic until approximately 70% to 80% of kidney function has been lost. As a result, CKD is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs.
It is estimated that a third of adults in the US are at risk of kidney disease. This risk is greatest for those suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity. Studies have also shown that ethnicity is a determining factor, with African Americans and Hispanic populations deemed most at risk. Americans of African ancestry are three times more likely to be afflicted by kidney disease than Caucasians, whilst those with Hispanic ancestry are almost 1.3 times more likely to be diagnosed with kidney failure compared to non-Hispanics.
