In this episode, we will present part II of our examination of chronic kidney disease and its impact on vulnerable communities. We will take a closer look at prerenal screening, the 5 stages of renal failure and how to prevent disease progression. Most people believe that poor lifestyle practices and dietary noncompliance play a primary role in our inability to contain yet another healthcare disparity. Our panelist will continue our review on social and economic disparities that affect healthcare practices in communities of color and finally we will share additional information on the financial cost to patients, their families and the healthcare industry.
