"Using US healthcare data from over 280,000 adults, researchers found that #COVID19 doubled the 12-month risk of advanced chronic #kidney disease compared to influenza even in patients without early kidney injury."

What's scary is the following re 90% ... 👇
"Around 90% of people with #kidney disease—9 in 10 adults—don’t know they have it. Why? Kidney disease often has no symptoms until its later stages. Many people are also unaware of their risk factors and don’t know when to get tested."
‼️ 90% ‼️
Take a moment to let that sink in.
I was not told that I have #CKD until I was diagnosed with #ESKD three years later in the ER.

@philosopher Kudos!
I was diagnosed w/ #ESKD early 2023 after 3 yrs of suffering w/ 75+ symptoms after #Covid in 2020. Was told dialysis is inevitable. Also diagnosed w/ #longCOVID + #immunocompromised that quarter..
Started #liondiet Feb 2024. Went on #carnivorediet in Fall. All except 2 of my biomarkers returned to normal. Kidney biomarkers improved later that year too. My Nephrologist told me in Fall and this year that my #kidneys have stabilized. ❤️ #ilovecarnivore

Brillian text on #PROM in #CKD and #ESKD.
My bet on #swift outcomes: 1) QoL-complaints will be high.
2) Interventions won‘t show any effect, because having ignored PROMS for 30+ years means we have little or no tools at all to adress these issues in current SoC.
3) such tools are rehab, exercise, psychological support, social support and transplant - and they are all heavily under-utilised.
Sad to read (but not surprised ) that survival of people with end stage #kidney disease #ESKD remains lower than many #malignancies.
On overage - 9 years of life lost if transplant not possible
