A new survey of dialysis patients, conducted by Renalogic and Lyfebulb, has uncovered the immense physical, emotional and logistical burdens faced by those living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Renalogic and Lyfebulb are committed to using these insights to improve the lives of the dialysis community.

This paper reports the case of a 69-year-old female with Lyme disease, exhibiting an atypical rash with purplish discoloration that was devoid of an outer ring or central clearing. In geographic areas with a high incidence of LD, it is especially important for clinicians to recognize alternative LD presentations. Healthcare providers should maintain a high index of suspicion of LD in patients with tick bites, even without typical EM, to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. #lyme #borrelia #lymedisease #lymediagnostics

Hospital stays can be risky for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), but new care recommendations aim to change that. Here’s what the research shows: 💙The Risks: -Delayed or improper meds can worsen symptoms. -Lack of mobility raises fall risks and complications. -Dysphagia (swallowing issues) often leads to aspiration pneumonia, a top cause of death for PD patients. 💙The Impact: -Longer hospital stays (up to 14 extra days). -Higher readmission rates (50.8%) and discharges to skilled care (62.9%). 💙The Solution: The Parkinson’s Foundation’s Hospital Care Recommendations call for: -On-time medication administration. -Avoiding harmful meds like dopamine blockers. -Early mobility (3x/day) and dysphagia screenings within 24 hours. With nearly 1 million PD patients in the U.S. today, these standards are vital for safer, more effective care. 💙 #ParkinsonsCare #PatientSafety #HealthcareInnovation Link: https://lnkd.in/e2Mftswg

#HCP: Coordinating a timely, comprehensive approach to cardio-renal-metabolic (C-R-M) care is critical to address multisystem risk. That's why we're introducing our new downloadable digital resource – the C-R-M Action Pack. It’s filled with the latest clinical guidelines to help primary care professionals and other front-line clinicians formulate a plan of action that prioritizes the overall health of adults with interconnected conditions – including chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes (T2D) or heart failure (HF).

Don't wait—early detection allows early intervention!  #DiabetesCare #PADAwareness #EarlyIntervention #AmericanDiabetesAssociation #HealthcareTips #SSITogetherWeFightPAD2024 Visit semlerscientific.com for more information and resources to learn more about PAD.

Today is #ChronicDiseaseDay, an opportunity to educate and advocate for those living with a chronic disease every day – including the 37 million Americans suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) or End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Many of these individuals are also dealing with another (or multiple) chronic comorbidity, such as diabetes or heart failure.     At Panoramic Health, innovation is the standard of care. We partner with nephrology practices across the U.S. to slow disease progression and improve quality of life for patients through early education, a comprehensive care model, and access to cutting-edge therapies that could change the future of kidney care.     #ChronicDiseaseAwarenessDay #CKD #ESKD #ERSD #PanoramicHealth #Healthcare #ChronicIllnessAwareness
