Every year, approximately 130,000 Americans progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). A majority of them and unprepared and “crash” into dialysis, with only 30% to 40% having seen a nephrologist in the last twelve (12) months. Unplanned dialysis starts can seriously impact patients physically and emotionally, leading to depression, anxiety, and other issues. That’s why Healthmap helps coordinate care with nephrologists to ensure an optimal start to dialysis for members in our Kidney Population Health Management Program. Our new White Paper offers success stories from Healthmap patients with analysis from our senior medical leadership. You’ll find it here: https://lnkd.in/gcN2wrrf

Imagine a world where screening all U.S. residents over 35 for chronic kidney disease could enhance life expectancy, reduce the need for dialysis or transplant, and deliver excellent value in healthcare spending. That's precisely what Stanford Medicine researchers have uncovered. Lead author Marika Cusick emphasizes the silent nature of CKD until its late stages, making early detection crucial. Screening opens the door to early diagnosis, treatment, and improved life expectancy, ultimately curbing the risk of progressing to deadly and costly late-stage kidney disease. 🔍 Dive deeper into this groundbreaking study below. It's time to revolutionize kidney health screening for a healthier future! 💙🌐 #KidneyHealthScreening #HealthcareAdvancements #EarlyDetection #EmpowerHealth https://lnkd.in/gpA9gPYZ

Heart failure (HF) imposes a significant burden on healthcare systems, especially in aging populations like Italy, where it stands as a leading cause of hospitalization. Our latest study delves into the clinical and economic repercussions of HF in Italian clinical practice. Analyzing data from 4 million+ patients, we discovered elevated rates of cardiovascular comorbidities, increased healthcare utilization, and higher costs among HF patients. Mortality rates were alarmingly high, underlining the critical need to address this healthcare challenge urgently. #HeartFailure #HealthcareResearch #Italy | https://ow.ly/cxVg50RzoKU

Fifty-two studies that included 3251 patients fulfilled the selection criteria. These studies investigated the rate of muscle wasting in 1773 (55%) patients and assessed ICU-acquired muscle weakness in 1478 (45%) patients. As a result, it’s necessary to find the early signs of the “Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction”. Skeletal muscle dysfunction can affect anyone.  Here are 5 common symptoms to watch for: 👉Difficulty lifting objects or performing daily tasks. 👉Feeling tired quickly during activities. 👉Persistent ache or soreness. 👉Sudden, painful muscle contractions. 👉Trouble moving limbs fully. If you experience these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional. They can provide accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options. Remember, early intervention can lead to better outcomes. Stay updated with Avis Life Care For More Health Related Insights! #healthandwellness #diseaseprevention #musclepain

🌟 USPSTF reviewing CKD recommendations 🌟 The USPSTF is currently reviewing its recommendations for screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD), which have not been updated since being retired in 2016. This review comes at a crucial time as CKD remains a significant public health issue that affects millions. This is a pressing need. The absence of updated guidance has prompted a bipartisan group of lawmakers to urge the USPSTF to provide stronger and more current recommendations. These lawmakers are advocating for a comprehensive strategy that emphasizes early detection and management of CKD, aiming to improve patient outcomes and address disparities in healthcare access and quality. According to the USPSTF, public comments are closed during the Final Research Plan phase, but there will be another opportunity for comment later during the Draft Recommendation phase.
