CKD Interventions Research Paper

Additionally, there may be patients that will be found to have the early symptoms of CKD, and those test results will be passed on to the individual patient.

All participants will be invited to learn more about CKD, and a one-night informational meeting will be conducted in which informational brochures will be passed out to the attendees, and will be discussed in detail. The attendees will also be provided the opportunity to give feedback (positive or negative) concerning their experiences with the early testing and how they view CKD from a current view as compared to their previous perceptions.

After all the data has been gathered and analyzed, a paper will be compiled that presents the results, along with a discussion of those results. It is hoped that the results will provide information to the medical community concerning how early testing and positive reinforcement can be effectively used during the early stages of CKD in order to lower the incidence rate of CKD. As the population of the United States grows ever older, CKD is just one medical malady that will have to be addressed. Perhaps, the approach of early diagnosis coupled with positive reinforcement can be used not only to lower the rate of CKD, but can be effectively implemented in other areas and against other diseases as well.
