According to World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that 10-14% of the global
population has chronic kidney disease, with the highest prevalence in low- and middle-income
countries (Ammirati, 2020). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which the kidneys
gradually lose function over a period of time. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste
products and excess blood fluid, regulating blood pressure and maintaining healthy electrolytes in
the body.
The effects of CKD are always serious in most instances as they result in anemia, bone
disease, cardiovascular diseases and end-stage renal disease, which requires dialysis or kidney
transplant for one to survive (Ammirati, 2020). Several public health interventions can be applied
to minimize the burden of CKD. The primary intervention would involve early detection and
screening programs to identify individuals at risk for the disease. Screening can be done through
blood and urine tests to measure kidney function (Ammirati, 2020).
The secondary intervention would be providing education and resources to patients with
CKD to effectively manage their conditions which include; lifestyle changes, access to specialized
care and medrvention would be providing education and resources to patients with
CKD to effectively manage their conditions which include; lifestyle changes, access to specialized
care and medication management. Secondary interventions can be effected by teaching patients
how to manage their blood sugar and blood pressure levels properly. Patients can also be provided
with information on healthy eating habits and the importance of exercise.
The tertiary intervention would involve providing patients with access to kidney
replacement therapies, including dialysis and kidney transplant in individuals having advanced
Chronic Kidney Disease, to improve their quality of life and prolong their survival. This can
involve providing patients access to kidney centres and kidney transplant programs. To
significantly decrease the burden of CKD globally and improve the quality of life of those living
with the disease, a combination of these public health interventions should be implemented.ication management. Secondary interventions can be effected by teaching patients
