Part 3: Medication-Related NEEDS: What Black persons with CKD say they need from health care practitioners and health system

Summary

As discussed in Part 1 and Part 2, there is a disproportionate impact of CKD on Black persons. Individuals need to have CKD identified and diagnosed as early as possible in the disease process to attain desired health outcomes. This successful management of CKD and its complications requires an awareness and understanding of the diagnosis. Without awareness, patients are unlikely to become informed and adequately participate in their care and become motivated to adopt healthy behaviors.
