The delivery and financing of dialysis care have continued
to evolve rapidly throughout the world. The United
States has seen the continued consolidation of the dialysis
providers, with two large organizations now overseeing the
care of two-thirds of all patients. In addition, younger as
well as older and sicker patients are now surviving multiple
chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and congestive
heart failure and congenital diseases, and progressing
through chronic kidney disease (CKD) to end-stage kidney
disease (ESKD), entering dialysis, or seeking conservative
care. In addition, in the United States, there has been a
major shift in government policy regarding kidney disease
with increased emphasis on kidney transplantation, home
dialysis, and the care of CKD patients prior to the development
of ESKD. These have led to advances in care delivery
focusing on patient-centric, holistic care and emphasized
the need for care coordination and true integration of care
across providers and sites of care. In such an integrated,
patient-centric world, an increasing number of providers
are taking a financial risk in ensuring quality outcomes.
Elsewhere in the world, the rising middle class in countries
such as India, China, and throughout the Middle East has
seen the concomitant rise of “life-style” illnesses, including
obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, and ultimately CKD
and ESKD, putting pressure on care providers and governments
to deliver and pay for the care of millions of patients.
The increasing affluence has also facilitated the extension of
CKD and ESKD care to infancy and early childhood.
Over 30 years have passed since the first edition of this
book was published, but the goals remain the same. To provide
those who care for CKD and ESKD patients a simple,
readily accessible resource to enable the highest quality care
for patients.
