How Prevalent Is Chronic Kidney Disease?
People Who Suffer from Kidney Disease or CKD:
1 in 10 Canadians or 4 million people which equates to $40 billion in health care costs, according to the Canadian Kidney Foundation.
1 in 3 US adults is at risk and 37 million people have CKD, according to the National Kidney Foundation.
Globally, 1.2 million people died from CKD, and 697·5 million cases of all-stage CKD were recorded, for a global prevalence of 9·1%.
And for people with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure - some of the most common causes of kidney disease - the risk for CKD is even greater and increasing every year in patients from Stage 1-5 (from normal, mild, moderate, severe, to end-stage kidney disease).
WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS
The results of several scientific studies and human clinical trials demonstrate that RECHLOR® aids in the restoration of kidney health and function.
What is kidney dysfunction?
Kidney dysfunctions means your kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood the way they should. The main risk factors for developing kidney dysfunctions are diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and a family history of kidney failure. The progressive stage of kidney dysfunctions may called “chronic” because the damage to your kidneys happens slowly over a long period of time.
Kidney dysfunction Symptoms
Early-stage kidney dysfunctions usually doesn’t have any symptoms. Testing is the only way to know how well your kidneys are working. Get checked for kidney dysfunctions if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney failure and talk to your health care provider about how often you should get tested.
How can I tell if I have kidney dysfunctions?
Your health care provider will use a blood test to check your kidney function. The results of the test mean the following:
-
a GFR of 60 or more is in the normal range. Ask your health care provider when your GFR should be checked again.
-
a GFR of less than 60 may mean you have kidney disease. Talk with your health care provider about how to keep your kidney health at this level.
-
a GFR of 15 or less is called kidney failure. Most people below this level need dialysis or a kidney transplant. Talk with your health care provider about your treatment options.
Clinical Trials
RECHLOR® has undergone several animal studies and human clinical trials to validate its proposed claims.
The studies confirmed the safe and effective function of RECHLOR® over a 90-day clinical trial.
