As many in the industry are already seeing and have seen for years, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is on the rise. ? In this great article from Yale Medicine, the author details six things you should know about CKD. Check it out! 1.?What, exactly, is chronic kidney disease? 2.?How do you know if you’re at risk for CKD? 3.?How is CKD diagnosed? 4.?How can you stop CKD from progressing? 5.?If you have CKD, will you need dialysis or a kidney transplant? 6.?How can you avoid CKD? Qubee is here to help those needing treatment for CKD, such as dialysis! Through superior vascular access, we work to provide a better quality of life and outcomes for patients. ?

Access site-related infection is SERIOUS! Qubee is here to help! "Infection is the leading cause of hospital admission and second most common cause of death in patients receiving dialysis." Let's put that fact into perspective. "Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (PD) access sites are portals of entry for bacteremia and peritonitis, respectively...Dialysis confers a 100-to-300-fold higher mortality from sepsis than in the general population." Qubee's antimicrobial strategy helps prevent infection while providing superior vascular access. We continue to push forward, improving patient experience and quality of life.

Why is kidney health so crucial? 1. Quality of Life Matters: Kidney health directly impacts quality of life. Whether it's maintaining energy levels, preserving mental clarity, or sustaining optimal organ function, healthy kidneys are indispensable for overall vitality and well-being. 2. Empowering Patient Advocacy: We can foster a culture of proactive self-care and advocacy by raising awareness and empowering individuals to take charge of their kidney health. From lifestyle modifications to regular screenings, small steps can yield significant dividends in preserving renal function and overall health. 3. Prevention is Key: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often preventable and manageable through early detection and intervention. By adopting a proactive approach to kidney health, individuals can mitigate risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, safeguarding their renal function for years to come. If treatment is needed, Qubee Medical provides an improved patient experience and increased quality of life, starting with superior vascular access. Be part of the CHANGE!

The global dialysis footprint has big shoes to fill — we need 3x more dialysis capacity by 2030 than we currently have available. Across the globe there’s a massive gap?between the number of people living with kidney failure and those who have access to life-saving treatments like dialysis. Worldwide, nearly?90% of patients on dialysis?receive?hemodialysis (HD), with the majority (>90%) of those patients on HD living in high- and upper middle-income countries. The costs of dialysis care are high and will likely continue to rise. The US may be an anomaly in terms of national dialysis spending (~$40+ billion annually), but cost barriers persist across high,?low- and middle-income countries. 60 years since the first dialysis treatment, we know we can do better. The question is: How can we capitalize on new opportunities to transform dialysis outcomes for patients here at home and across the globe? A 2020?paper?by Dr. Himmelfarb and colleagues points to the need for both?TOP-DOWN?efforts?(systems level policy, regulations, macroeconomic) and?BOTTOM-UP?efforts?(patient-led, patient-centered, advocacy, innovators, investment). This bi-directional push-pull is vitally important to the health and potential of our ecosystem. ? Top-down examples include the?Kidney Health Initiative,?Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health,?KidneyX,?National Kidney Foundation Innovation Fund,?Neokidney, and the?Affordable Dialysis Prize. ? Bottom-up examples include AWAK Technologies, Kuleana Technology, Quanta Dialysis Technologies, Diality, Nephrodite, Hylid Diagnostics Inc, SeaStar Medical, Nextkidney, Dialysis-X, Inc, Qidni Labs Inc., The Kidney Project, EXORENAL, Nanodialysis, Alio, Sonavex, Mozarc Medical, NxStage Medical, Inc.
