3) A little #MedHistory: “……the healthy colour of the countenance fades” is how Richard Bright (1789-1858) first described the common complication accompanying #kidneyfailure, #anemia.

If Bright had lived long enough to use Twitter, and then X, he’d call it #aCKD. pic.twitter.com/7IUQjhPm6a
5) Prior to the introduction of recombinant #erythropoietin (#EPO), to treat #aCKD, physicians relied upon blood transfusions ➡️ many complications

– Hemosiderosis
– Porphyria cutanea tarda
– Infections
– Fluid overload
– Transfusion reactions

7) ~ 700 million people worldwide & 50 million in the US (approx. 15% of the population) were estimated to have #CKD. That means 1 in 7 Americans have CKD!https://t.co/IGepJZd0SK pic.twitter.com/8fCdiP608r

9) 5-6 million Americans, which is ~15% of those with #CKD, have #anemia. 🔓 https://t.co/RvLjjq6vYx pic.twitter.com/IT99XHprbt

11) Only 23% of #CKD patients with #anemia report being treated for it.

13) In patients with #CKD and #anemia, compared to those without anemia, there is an increased association with activity and work impairment rateshttps://t.co/MNj3Ijz883 pic.twitter.com/nXMOCBreLC

15) #Anemia in #dialysis-dependent patients is not good for patients. Not surprisingly, a higher hematocrit is associated with lower mortality in hemodialysis patients

17) Patients with #CKD and #anemia experience considerable disease burden compared to their non-anemic counterparts

18b) The correct answer is a. The development of #CKD and #anemia is incredibly complex and is attributed to a combination of 1⃣ common causes of anemia in CKD. These are sick patients….. the disease states contributing to anemia often worsen risk of comorbid disease. pic.twitter.com/xBzv1hTOWt

19) The relationship between #Anemia, #CKD and #ESRD is complex. there are clear contributions of socio-cultural determinants and associated disease states contributing to anemia in CKD and overall disease burden.

21a) Framework of racial/socioeconomic contributions to disparities in pt care, outcomes & #CKD progression include:
— @CKD_ce (@ckd_ce) November 7, 2023
👉Individual level: education, income, population, #healthliteracy, health insurance
(cont)
22) Populations with higher risk of #CKD & #kidneyfailure receive less care.
— @CKD_ce (@ckd_ce) November 7, 2023
In a study where 44% of non-Hispanic black patients had risk factors for CKD, only 24% reported undergoing screening for CKD

24) Similarly, black persons with #CKD have greater risk of all-cause #mortality.

26a) Which population do you think is at greatest risk for having a hemoglobin <10g/dL?
— @CKD_ce (@ckd_ce) November 7, 2023
a. white patients with eGFR <15ml/min/1.73m2
b. black patients with eGFR <15ml/min/1.73m2
c. any patient with eGFR <15ml/min/1.73m2
d. Hispanic patients with >15ml/min/1.73m2
27a) In summary, #anemia contributes to a substantial degree of disease burden in patients w/#CKD & #ESRD.
