Prescription medications are abundant in the US, unlike many other countries. But imagine you are 45 years old, have developed stage 4 kidney disease from high blood pressure and diabetes, and also suffer from gout. The blood pressure can hardly be controlled because the proper dosages of certain medications will cause further renal injury. Medications to stop gout flares also can't be prescribed, which creates more gout flares. You can't eat enough protein to help prevent your gout, and you end up having to rely on more carbs, which worsens the diabetes and also the gout. #gout #kidneydisease #prevention

On World Hypertension Day, let’s highlight the importance of blood pressure monitoring for our Hospital-At-Home patients: ✴ Early Detection: Regular blood pressure monitoring aids in the swift detection and intervention of high blood pressure, reducing the likelihood of developing life-threatening complications such as strokes, heart disease, and kidney failure, and avoiding unnecessary hospitalisation. ✴ Personalised Preventative Care: By tracking blood pressure trends over time, we can optimise treatment plans to each patient's unique needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes. #WorldHypertentionDay #HospitalAtHome #BloodPressureMonitoring

Did you know... 💡 Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) can experience sudden worsening of respiratory symptoms, known as acute exacerbations, from which full recovery is often not possible. Individuals with IPF face a higher risk of complications such as infections, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension. Due to these challenges, the average life expectancy after an IPF diagnosis is typically 2 to 5 years. Read more via the link in the comments. ⬇️ #HealthTech #IdiopathicPulmonaryFibrosis #PF24

Diabetes is on the rise, yet it often remains a ‘silent’ disease, as symptoms can go unnoticed for years. However, the sooner diabetes is treated, the better it can be managed. Thankfully, there are numerous treatment and support options tailored to the patient, the stage, and the type of diabetes. For instance, since the beginning of this year, the Type 2 Diabetes Starter Program has provided enhanced support for patients with early-stage diabetes. Additionally, RIZIV has expanded reimbursement options, covering both early-stage diabetes and more advanced cases. To help healthcare providers and patients navigate these reimbursement possibilities, RIZIV has launched the campaign: ‘We can’t control everything in life… but we CAN control diabetes.’ Find out everything about the reimbursed care programs and costs: 👉 In Dutch: https://lnkd.in/eFyscUJJ 👉 In French: https://lnkd.in/eDJdNN5D At beMedTech, we are grateful that diabetes care is extensively reimbursed for Belgian patients. This is incredibly important given the growing number of people with diabetes and the significant impact the condition can have on someone’s life if not properly managed. #diabetes #diabetescare #chronicdiseases #chroniccare #medtechmatters
