The loss of kidney function in ESRD is usually irreversible and permanent. The ESRD Program of Medicare was established by the Social Security Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-603). That law extended Medicare coverage to individuals who have permanent kidney failure, require either dialysis or transplantation, and meet certain other eligibility requirements. TrailBlazer has served as a specialized regional intermediary of end stage renal disease services since 1988 to include free-standing and provider based facilities in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as single intermediary for chain providers in 38 other states and Puerto Rico.

Diagnostic Products About End Stage Renal Disease Approximately 225,000 people in Europe, 300,000 people in the United States and one million worldwide suffer from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and depend on haemodialysis to replace their kidney function. ESRD occurs when a significant portion of normal kidney function is lost. Healthy kidneys concentrate waste materials in the urine, maintain fluid (water) balance, manufacture vitamin D, stimulate red blood cell production, and maintain good bone and cardiac health by controlling serum phosphorus levels. Physicians use haemodialysis to clear waste materials and excess water from the blood of ESRD patients. Vitamin D supplements and injections of erythropoietin (a red blood cell production agent) can be given when needed. However, serum phosphorus is not easily controlled and is largely a function of diet. Therefore, several therapeutic approaches (haemodialysis, dietary restrictions, and phosphate binders) are usually necessary to adequately control serum phosphorus levels. Haemodialysis alone is not able to effectively clear total body phosphorus since it is mainly found in our cells. Dietary phosphorus restriction reduces vital protein intake and can lead to malnutrition. Phosphate-binding agents may be effective in decreasing intestinal phosphorus absorption but some phosphate binders are associated with such problems as aluminium toxicity, hypercalcaemia, extraskeletal calcification and cardiac and coronary artery disease.

HEART CANCER WOMEN CHILDREN ... LOOK IT UP End Stage Renal Disease Dialysis Transplants Your kidneys are crucial to your health. They filter out waste products from your blood, remove excess fluids and help balance certain chemicals in your body. (Read about " Kidney Disease ") When they are damaged by disease or injury, they lose the ability to do their job. Unfortunately kidneys can not heal themselves. Any damage is usually irreversible. We are lucky however, because we have more kidney power than we need. Most people are born with two kidneys, but can function easily with just one. However, if you lose 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function, you enter what is called end stage renal disease (ESRD). At that point you need help. There are only two choices according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), dialysis and transplantation. Causes of chronic kidney failure When the kidneys fail, it can be temporary (acute) or permanent (chronic). The number one cause of chronic kidney failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD), according to NIDDK, is diabetes. (Read about " Diabetes " "

Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement Treatments for End-Stage Renal Disease In End Stage Renal Disease, or ESRD, the patient's renal disease is so bad that he will die without treatment. The most common causes of ESRD are, in order, diabetes uncontrolled hypertension glomerulonephritis and polycystic kidney disease . There are three treatments available for ESRD: Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis and Transplantation. Hemodialysis requires that the patient have regular treatments with an artificial kidney attached to a dialysis machine . Most are performed in an outpatient dialysis facility, but patients with supportive partners may opt to perform the treatments themselves in their home. Treatments typically are done three times a week and last for four hours. Advantages of this modality are freedom from dialysis when not on the machine. Disadvantages are the need for a strict diet especially low in potassium, the need to maintain a fluid restriction, the need for the creation of a vascular access for the insertion of the dialysis needles, the need to commit half a day three times a week for the treatment, the need for transportation to and from the dialysis center, and the need to make special arrangements prior to travel. New hemodialysis patients are also at risk for a complication known as "dialysis disequilibrium," a condition in which the rapid removal of electrolytes causes a fluid shift into the brain. The risk of this complication can be minimized by skilled nephrology professionals. Further, most hemodialysis patients complain of tiredness after their treatments, so, in effect, the patient

TESTIMONY ON MEDICARE END STAGE RENAL DISEASE PROGRAM JEFFREY KANG, M.D., DIRECTOR OFFICE OF CLINICAL STANDARDS AND QUALITY HEALTH CARE FINANCING ADMINISTRATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BEFORE THE SENATE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON AGING JUNE 26, 2000 Chairman Grassley, Senator Breaux, distinguished Committee members, thank you for inviting us to discuss our progress in improving the quality of care in Medicare s End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) program. We would also like to thank the General Accounting Office and HHS Inspector General for their assessments and assistance in this area, as well. We are working diligently, in partnership with the dialysis community, to improve the quality of care provided to Medicare End Stage Renal Disease beneficiaries, and we have had measurable success. Between 1993 and 1998 the percentage of ESRD patients with adequate red blood cell (hematocrit) levels increased from 46 to 83 percent, while the percentage of patients receiving adequate dialysis increased from 43 to 74 percent. And, between 1990 and 1997, the overall one year mortality rates for dialysis patients declined from 24.9 deaths per 100 patient years to 22.8. We are committed to working with States and the End Stage Renal Disease Networks to make further improvements and target weak performing dialysis facilities. We are testing more advanced measurements of the quality of care provided in dialysis centers. We are developing new rules to strengthen quality requirements for dialysis centers. And we are developing facility-specific data that will help consumers make informed choices, help facilities identify areas in which they need to make improvements, and help surveyors target oversight efforts.

77. EP Healthcare - Reimbursement For Treatment Of End-Stage Renal Disease Healthcare Back Reimbursement for Treatment of endstage RenalDisease by Maureen McKinley, MSW, LSCW. When beginning dialysis http://www.eparent.com/healthcare/reimbursement.htm

RESOURCES EDUCATION HEALTHCARE LIFE PLANNING ... TOYS Eparent Services: Reader Feedback EP Library Archived Articles Publisher’s Message ... Children’s Page Search Eparent: Healthcare: Reimbursement for Treatment of End-Stage Renal Disease by Maureen McKinley, MSW, LSCW When beginning dialysis, many people wonder how they are going to pay for this costly treatment. Every dialysis clinic has a social worker to help answer this and other questions related to adjusting to life with kidney disease. The social worker will have information on insurance plans and other sources of financial assistance. Medicare Medicare has two types of coverage: Part A and Part B. Part A covers 100 percent of most inpatient expenses and is free to those who have paid into the Social Security system. Part B covers 80 percent of outpatient expenses and is covered by a monthly premium. For those receiving Social Security Disability or Retirement benefits, the Part B premium is automatically deducted from the monthly benefit payment. Those not receiving Social Security payments are billed every three months for their Medicare Part B coverage. It is possible to enroll in just Part A of Medicare. This is not advisable for people with renal disease, however, as it is Part B which covers maintenance dialysis treatment, laboratory work, and many other services needed by people who have ESRD.. Supplemental insurance Part B of Medicare pays only 80 percent of outpatient treatment after satisfaction of an annual deductible, so additional insurance is necessary to cover the remaining 20 percent of dialysis. The cost of maintenance dialysis varies somewhat from state to state, but on the average, the monthly Medicare allowable charge is $2,000. Medicare covers 80 percent of this, or approximately $1,600. The $400 that is left over is usually covered by supplemental insurance. Most people have some type of private insurance coverage when they develop renal failure. After they become eligible for Medicare, they use their private insurance as supplemental coverage. Many insurance companies allow subscribers to convert to a Medicare supplement plan, which has less expensive premiums, once enrolling in Medicare. Supplemental insurance can also cover the annual Medicare Part B deductible.

My mother recently started dialysis due to kidney failure as a result of her diabetes. I have also moved her in with me to take care of her. So I am faced with the challenge of preparing special meals. I just focus on all the things she CAN eat and that's it! I replace the tomatoes with the small green tomatillos and I also use red or green hot sauces choosing the labels with the least amount of salt. Good luck!
