Chronic renal disease has received increasing attention and concern
since the passage in 1972 of PL 92-603, which provided coverage for
end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment by the federal government.
The human and economic costs of the ESRD program serve to emphasize
the need to prevent or to arrest those diseases resulting in
chronic renal failure, since none of the available treatments is
without complications and/or side effects. The ESRD program, the
only federal one that provides coverage for a catastrophic illness
for almost the entire population (those qualifying under Social
Security), cost almost $2 billion in 1983. The escalating costs of
the ESRD program are attributed to the increasing number of
patients requiring treatment and have focused concerns of the
United States Government, both Congress and the administration, on
ESRD. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), especially the
Kidney, Urology, and Hematology Division of the National Institutes
of Arthritis, Diabetes, and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIADDK),
supports a sizable research program that bears on chronic renal
disease and in association with this has sponsored many conferences
and workshops on research on and causes and complications of
chronic renal failure. This book is an outgrowth of the issues
addressed by participants at a number of NIH conferences held in
the 1980s.
