 The
National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) is sponsored by the National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National
Institutes of Health. It was created to reduce the morbidity and mortality
caused by kidney disease and its complications. The program aims to raise
awareness about the seriousness of kidney disease, the importance of testing,
and the availability of treatment to prevent or slow kidney failure.
More than 8 million Americans
have seriously reduced kidney function, and about 400,000 require dialysis
or a kidney transplant to stay alive, a figure that doubled in a 10-year
period.
NKDEP aims to raise awareness
of the seriousness of kidney disease, the importance of testing those at
high risk, and the availability of treatment to prevent or slow kidney
failure. The program initially focuses on those at highest risk, particularly
African Americans with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history
of kidney failure. The NKDEP plans to widen its target audiences, including
other racial and ethnic groups, as the program expands.
The site, located at http://www.nkdep.nih.gov/kidneymonth/
offers information, brochures and videos for patients, families, and health
professionals.
