A Comprehensive Survey on Mortality and Kidney Failure Risks in Adults with Severe Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

This large-scale research examines the main modifiable factors of the natural history and treatment of CKD, focusing on hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and the effects of social demographics. Based on 2,000 patients the study outlines how uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes not only progress CKD at an alarming rate but also exponentially raise the chances of suffering severe complications in the future. This study also reveals that smoking potency increases these unfavorable outcome profiles more severely than was assumed in the current nephrology literature. More importantly, the current study demonstrates deep rooted socio-economic differences that hinder access to adequate treatment and exacerbate the disease process calling for intensified health care system targeted intervention. Such differences demonstrate the facts that populations with poor access to physicians remain unable to obtain the proper treatment for their diseases, and that affects their overall health status. The study supports strict control of BP and glucose as the key elements in the secondary prevention of progressive CKD. In this paper, it urges decision-makers in the health sector to do more in developing and advancing policies that would transform screening and the accessibility of needed treatments more efficiently especially but not limited to disadvantaged groups of the population. Included in the medical management of patients, the study favours the inclusion of social determinants of health in public health interventions to counterbalance the effects of SES. It thus seeks to enhance the understanding of clinical implications of patients with CKD, favorably transform patients’ prognosis, and inform community measures bent on enhancing patient care. These conclusions raise many directions for ramifications that could be vital for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers who intend to work against CKD and decrease its cost on society.
