Multiple hours a day for 3 days a week doesn’t have to be the course of the individuals life. This also puts a strain on family life and roles. When an individual becomes ill with disease, family roles and dynamics change.  uIndividuals diagnosed with CKD need to maintain proper and appropriate diet and avoid strenuous activities.   u uRelation and Importance (Contd.): uThe number of patients starting renal replacement therapy (RRT) is increasing.   uImprovements in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) across communities to alter this trend are a public health priority. With this increasing number health care cost also increases within our community and nation.  u In total, stage 2–stage 4 CKD costs Medicare FFS about $49 billion each year! See attached PDF for more staggering cost and effects on the community. uHow to optimize health: uEducation: §Learning about the causes of kidney disease and the prevention is very important in working towards an optimized health. §Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure.  Diabetes education is essential to prevent Chronic Kidney disease  § All racial and ethnic groups have benefited equally from lifestyle modification program mentioned by the  Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) .
