About Us End Stage Renal Disease According to United States Renal Data System (USRDS) 2003 Annual Data Report, approximately 400,000 end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients were in treatment in 2001. Just under 100,000 of those patients were new to the Medicare ESRD program that year. ESRD program payments in 2001 were approximately 6.4 percent of the 15.4 billion dollars in Medicare spending. Treatment options include hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and transplantation. The majority of ESRD patients are treated in dialysis facilities. The Vascular Access section on this site focuses entirely on increasing rates of AV fistulae as the primary access for dialysis patients. The content is the result of the National Vascular Access Improvement Initiative ("Fistula First"), the collaborative partnership between the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the ESRD Networks. Many other opportunities for improvement in the treatment of end stage renal disease exist, but are not addressed here.

PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Chronic Renal Failure Condition caused by permanent and normally progressive loss of renal function to a degree in which it has adverse affects on other systems. This normally occurs at approx. 40% of normal excretory capacity. Conditions such as removal of one of a pair of normal kidneys or limited damage to one or both kidneys are not chronic renal failure because, although there is a loss or renal reserve, there is no clinical effect. Epidemiology Prevalence Endstage renal failure - 96/million population/year. 500-600/million population on renal replacement therapy, e.g. a GP will have one dialysis or transplant patient and will see one new ESRF patient every 5 years.

Chronic renal disease [1] Results Diabetes [3] Results ... Comment Bandolier has heard it said that most patients with chronic renal disease or diabetes should be taking ACE inhibitors. Evidence seems to be accumulating, in the shape of systematic reviews and large randomised trials. A brief review, then, of some of the evidence on outcomes, seems in order. Chronic renal disease [1] Trials were eligible if they were randomised, had a parallel comparison of ACE inhibitor with placebo, had a minimum follow-up of one year and studied adults. Information unavailable in the published reports was requested from the original authors. Results There were nine studies with 650 patients with chronic renal failure and microalbuminuria initially, and who were treated with ACE inhibitor for one to five years (average three years). ACE inhibitors were enalapril 10 or 20 mg, captopril 100 mg and lisinopril 10 mg. The outcome was development of macroalbuminuria. The risk of developing macroalbuminuria was lower with ACE inhibitor (10%) than with placebo (24%) (Figure 1; Table 1). Treating seven patients with chronic renal failure and microalbuminuria for three years with an ACE inhibitor would prevent one of them developing macroalbuminuria.

My name is Karen Basinger. I am a registered dietitian with over 16 years of experience working with renal patients and currently am a renal dietitian for TRC Wheaton. I am here today as a representative of the Renal Dietitians Dietetic Practice Group of the American Dietetic Association. ADA is the world’s largest organization of nutrition professionals and has long had an interest in the quality of care provided to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients. The Renal Dietitian’s DPG represents close to 2000 renal dietitians dedicated to improving the nutritional care for people with renal disease. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony today. The renal dietitian is an integral part of the dialysis team. As we all know, our service population is getting older and coming to dialysis with an increasingly complex set of metabolic and clinical manifestations that requires the expertise of an experienced renal dietitian. The responsibilities of the renal dietitian practicing in ESRD facilities are also becoming more complex and demanding and include:

The diet is usually high in protein and low-sodium, low-potassium, and low-phosphorus. Fluid intake is also restricted. Kidney Anatomy The purpose of this diet is to try and maintain a balance of electrolytes, minerals, and fluid in patients on dialysis. The special diet is important because dialysis alone does not effectively eliminate ALL waste products. These waste products can also accumulate between dialysis treatments. Most dialysis patients urinate very little or not at all, and therefore fluid restriction between treatments is very important.

About the Kidney Failure Series Your kidneys filter wastes from your blood and regulate other functions of your body. When your kidneys fail, you need treatment to replace the work of healthy kidneys to survive. Developing kidney failure means that you have some decisions to make about your treatment. If you choose to receive treatment, your choices are hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages. You may also choose to forgo treatment. By learning about your choices, you can work with your doctor to decide what's best for you. No matter which treatment you choose, you'll need to make some changes in your life, including how you eat and plan your activities. But with the help of your health care team, family, and friends, you can lead a full, active life. Top When Your Kidneys Fail Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys.
