How
States Provide Chronic and End Stage Renal Disease Care
The
PDF files in this section will provide state specific
information on all the programs in
Georgia,
Maryland,
Mississippi,
Pennsylvania and
Ohio to cover renal care for those without private
insurance.
We
have created an expanded version which identifies all
federal and state income maintenance, healthcare,
education, housing, basically everything from cradle to
grave for all disabled and elderly populations.
These
are available for California, Florida, Illinois,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. We are attaching the
Illinois version FYI. If you would like a copy of
any other state please contact me at the email address
below.
Download an
Adobe Reader to enable you to read the files. If you
would like a file created for your state please contact

In the United States:
There are 329,800 people on dialysis costing this country $20B per year.
By 2010 there will be 600,000 on dialysis.
In 1980 there were 2000 dialysis facilities; in 1999
there were 3991
This number is growing by 10% per year.
Baby boomers are reaching middle age; with middle age
comes the complications of chronic conditions such as
diabetes and hypertension. Consequently there is a 10%
per year increase in end stage renal disease, one of the
most devastating and debilitating conditions your
constituents face. While with appropriate diet and
medications many with chronic kidney disease can avoid
end stage renal disease (ESRD) and dialysis and
transplant many cannot.
Unless we initiate education and screening in the US, this country's healthcare
budget, will increase; money will be spent on
complication and in-patient care rather than prevention
and outpatient care. Morbidity and mortality will
increase. This country's system of chronic and end stage
renal disease care must reflect current medical
expertise. The National Kidney Disease Education Program
under the auspices of NIDDK/NIH is educating minority
populations in this country at risk for chronic kidney
disease.
