Better Lives with Care.Wallet: Chronic Kidney Disease in South Korea
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health concern. Its prevalence increases as a population ages. CKD often goes undiagnosed, so its proper treatment can be inadvertently and dangerously delayed. This is a global problem, but some countries are being proactive. In Korea efforts are being made to improve the situation. There has been a recent push for new laws to curb CKD. Providing better testing, access, awareness and prevention can reduce healthcare spending as well as improve quality of life.
There are ways for at risk patients to avoid kidney failure due to CKD. Following a healthy diet and taking medicine for diabetes and high blood pressure may keep CKD from getting worse while also preventing co-morbidities such as heart disease. Quitting smoking and exercising regularly can also lower risk for kidney failure. Proper lifestyle choices have a huge impact on health.
