5-Year Risk of Dialysis or Transplant...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that, if unmanaged, may lead to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or a transplant.

Identifying your 5-year risk of dialysis helps you and your doctor take early action to slow CKD progression, avoid complications, and plan for better treatment options.

Risk of Dialysis

Understanding the Risk of Dialysis...

How CKD Progresses to Dialysis?

  • 10-20% of CKD patients develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) within five years.
  • If CKD worsens, the kidneys can no longer filter waste properly, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Why Early Detection Matters?

    • Slows Disease Progression – Early intervention can help prevent or delay dialysis.
    • Avoids Emergency Dialysis – Planning ahead prevents last-minute hospitalizations.
    • Improves Treatment Options – Timely action allows for smoother dialysis preparation or transplant planning.

Comprehensive Risk Assessment for Dialysis

Our risk assessment tool analyzes key health markers to determine your likelihood of requiring dialysis in the next five years.

Key Factors Considered:

✅ Kidney Function Tests – Measures serum creatinine & eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) to track kidney health.
✅ Protein in Urine (Proteinuria) – High protein levels indicate kidney damage and a greater risk of dialysis.
✅ Blood Pressure & Diabetes Control – High blood pressure and diabetes accelerate CKD progression.
✅ Lifestyle & Medication Adherence – Factors like diet, smoking, exercise, and medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs) influence kidney function.
✅ Algorithm-Based Risk Scoring – Your risk of dialysis is classified as low, moderate, or high, guiding next steps in treatment.

Tailored Strategies to Prevent Dialysis...

Based on the 5-year risk score, the system offers personalized recommendations to help manage CKD and prevent progression:

Lifestyle Adjustments to Support Kidney Health:

🥦 Dietary Changes: Reduce salt, protein, and phosphorus intake to ease kidney workload.
🏃 Exercise & Weight Control: Helps lower blood pressure and supports overall kidney function.
💊 Medication Management: Taking kidney-protective drugs (ACE inhibitors, ARBs) and avoiding harmful painkillers (NSAIDs).

Planning for Dialysis If Needed:

  • Fistula Preparation – Creating a vascular access (fistula) in advance improves dialysis success.
  • Avoiding Emergency Dialysis – Planning ahead reduces complications and hospital stays.

Transplant Readiness:

    • Early Transplant Discussion – Patients at high risk can start finding potential donors early.
    • Shorter Wait Times – Early preparation increases the likelihood of a successful kidney transplant.

Continuous Progress Tracking…

  • Routine Re-Evaluation: The 5-year risk of CKD progression is re-assessed every six months to track changes in kidney function and evaluate the effectiveness of implemented interventions. This ongoing assessment allows for timely adjustments in treatment plans.
  • Trend Analysis: The system charts your eGFR, proteinuria levels, blood pressure, and other health markers over time, providing a clear visual representation of your kidney health and risk status.

Economic Impact of CKD Progression to Dialysis…

  1. Dialysis is Expensive & Time-Consuming
    • Hemodialysis costs thousands per year and requires treatment multiple times per week.
    • Peritoneal Dialysis can be done at home but still requires ongoing expenses for supplies and monitoring.
  2. Transplant Surgery & Medications
    • Kidney transplant offers better long-term outcomes but involves surgery, recovery, and lifelong medication costs.
  3. Indirect Costs:
    • Lost Income – CKD limits work productivity and may lead to disability.
    • Lifestyle Adjustments – Changes in diet, medication, and doctor visits add financial strain.

Why Early Detection Matter …

Detect Early, Manage Smartly, Live Fully.

  • Proactive Care: Understanding your 5-year risk of CKD progression allows for timely and targeted interventions to slow the disease’s advancement, avoid acute crises, and ensure planned, high-quality care.
  • Cost-Effective: Effective management of CKD risk factors and early planning for dialysis or transplantation can prevent the sudden need for emergency interventions, thereby minimizing direct and indirect healthcare costs.
