Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects around 13.4% of the worldwide population. According to the ESRD, CKD alone for free-of-care Medicare patients in 2013 cost $50.4 billion. It cost another $30.9 billion if End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is taken into account. The global impact of kidney disease has been taking a toll on all healthcare systems for longer than anyone can remember. This needs to change.
