This indicator shows the total age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, nephrosis.
Why is this important?
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis - known generally as kidney diseases - are one of the top ten leading causes of death in Kansas and the United States. Kidney disease is most often caused by diabetes or high blood pressure, which slowly damage the blood vessels in the kidneys and decrease their ability to remove waste from the blood. According to the American Kidney Fund, it is estimated that 40% of people with diabetes will develop chronic kidney disease (CKD). Over 500 Kansas residents die annually from kidney diseases.
