Since 1972, many victims of endstage renal disease (ESRD) have received treatment under a unique Medicare entitlement. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the federal ESRD program: who uses it, how well it functions, and what improvements are needed. The book includes recommendations on patient eligibility, reimbursement, quality assessment, medical ethics, and research needs. Kidney Failure and the Federal Government offers a wealth of information on these and other topics: The ESRD patient population. Dialysis and transplantation providers. Issues of patient access and availability of treatment. Ethical issues related to treatment initiation and termination. Payment policies and their relationship to quality of care. This book will have a major impact on the future of the ESRD program and will be of interest to health policymakers, nephrologists and other individual providers, treatment site administrators, and researchers.

" An estimated 17 percent of U.S. adults have chronic kidney disease-the most common form of kidney disease-a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood sufficiently, causing waste from the blood to remain in the body. Kidney disease patients may progress to ESRD, a condition of kidney failure, which can cause death without dialysis or kidney transplant. In 2013, the Medicare program-which pays for ESRD treatment-spent $30.9 billion to treat approximately 530,000 patients. Given the high cost of kidney disease in terms of health consequences and federal spending, GAO was asked to examine how the federal government funds and prioritizes kidney disease research. This report describes (1) the level of NIH funding for biomedical research on kidney disease, and for other leading diseases and conditions; and (2) how NIDDK sets priorities for kidney disease research. To describe NIH funding for research on kidney disease and other diseases and conditions, GAO selected leading diseases and conditions (based on mortality and prevalence) and analyzed their levels of research funding based on NIH data for fiscal year 2015. To describe how NIDDK sets priorities for kidney disease research, GAO reviewed documents-including those on research portfolios and strategic planning-from NIDDK"
