Alarming Statistics: 22 million people in Pakistan grappling with renal issues
A groundbreaking study reveals that 22 million people in Pakistan are currently struggling with renal issues, with 22,000 individuals being diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) annually. These statistics emphasize the urgent need for increased awareness, proactive healthcare measures, and effective interventions to address this growing crisis. The prevalence of diabetes and blood pressure, along with their poor control, has contributed to the burden of kidney diseases among the population.
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is a crucial treatment option for renal diseases but is often costly, placing a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems. Many individuals affected by renal diseases lack the financial resources to afford these life-saving treatments.
