Hey my name is Xavia Barnes I am 30 years old the owner of a non-profit organization named Fat Face Loves Inc. it giving back to people that are affected by kidney disease. I was inspired to start because of my wife Errica Barnes she was a strong woman to go through that pain she went to for years and keep fighting and seeing that made me look why not help people learn about there body and just helping others.
There are two different kidney failure chronic kidney failure and end stage kidney failure ESKD and I watch my wife go through a lot so I feel like why not educate yourself about something that is important that keep u living at first I use did didn't think about did my kidney I used to just do what I want until I met my wife and she was going to the stage 2 chronic kidney renal disease and she was already living with one I watched it and watch her go through pain everyday couldn't get up exhausted and eat like really take a toll on your body and make you don't want to do nothing so it's time for a change I know it end of the day I can't be the one person that changed the world but I can be a person to make an impact in this world and make it and make a big impact.
with the world but I'm going to keep my promise to my beautiful wife Errica Barnes and make Fat Face Loves Inc
Every breath I take and do out here you here with me always.
She always told me always give someone a chance because everyone need love she taught that and I'm thankful to be there for her and educated myself about a disease that important and I'm not think nothing about. Everyone lets give someone a chance.
Im about to give some statistics about CKD And EKSG and about the medicare spending just to show facts.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
CKD is most commonly for a woman to have CKD 14% than man 12%.
CKD effects one in seven Americans in the world thats estimated of 37 million people.
Having having hot blood pressure and being a diabetic that's one of is the most two common ways of kidney disease
One went in three people that has diabetes in one in five people that have blood pressure has kidney disease in the world.
9 out of 10 people in America has CKD disease and doesn't know it's the early stages of having chronic kidney disease doesn't show symptoms
CKD is more common in non-Hispanic Black adults (16%) than non-Hispanic white adults (13%) or non-Hispanic Asian adults (13%).
And about 14% of Hispanic adults have CKD.
CKD is most common among people ages 65 or older (38%), followed by people ages 45 to 64 (12%) and people ages 18 to 44 (6%).
End Stage Kidney Failure (ESKG)
Nearly 786,000 people in the United States are living with ESKD, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with 71% on dialysis and 29% with a kidney transplant.
For every 2 women who develop ESKD, 3 men develop ESKD.
For every white person who develops ESKD, 3 Black people develop ESKD.
For every 3 non-Hispanic people who develop ESKD, 4 Hispanic people develop ESKD.
At the end of 2018, 12.5% of all patients undergoing dialysis performed dialysis at home. The number of patients performing home dialysis more than doubled between 2008 and 2018.
Among patients with ESKD who were initially waitlisted in 2013, median wait time for a kidney transplant was 49.2 months.
Median wait time is longer for adults (46.0 months to 59.1 months, depending on age bracket) than for children 17 years or younger (7.3 months).
Median wait time is longer for Black patients (59.9 months) than for white patients (41.3 months).
Median wait time is longer for Hispanic or Latino patients (55.8 months) than for non-Hispanic patients (47.4 months).
Based on U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network External link
In 2020, a total of 22,817 kidney transplants were completed in the United States.
As of August 2021, 90,201 people were on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.
Medicare Spending
According to the United States Renal Data System 2020 Annual Data Report
Medicare spending for beneficiaries with CKD External link (not including ESKD) ages 66 or older exceeded $70 billion in 2018, representing 23.8% of Medicare spending in this age group.
Annual per-person spending was more than double for patients ages 66 or older with CKD ($23,691) compared with those without CKD ($10,842).
Medicare-related spending for beneficiaries with ESKD External link totaled $49.2 billion in 2018.
According to the United States Renal Data System 2020 Annual Data Report External link
In 2018, adjusted mortality was more than twice as high among Medicare beneficiaries ages 66 years or older with CKD (96.0 per 1,000) compared with those without CKD (41.0 per 1,000).
Adjusted mortality decreased by nearly 15% in patients receiving hemodialysis and by nearly 20% in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis between 2009 and 2018.
Adjusted mortality is significantly lower in patients with a kidney transplant (48.9 per 1,000) compared with patients receiving dialysis (160.8 per 1,000).
