Introduction to chronic kidney disease -- Kidney function -- NIH fact -- Risk factors for kidney disease -- Kidney disease in children -- 5 stages of chronic kidney disease -- Factors influencing kidney disease progression -- Managing chronic kidney disease -- Dialysis -- One dialysis patient's story -- Kidney transplant -- Prognosis for children with kidney disease -- Future of kidney research.

"Chronic kidney disease is nearly as common as diabetes--the major cause of CKD--affecting one in every nine adults. This program lets viewers know who is most at risk as it outlines the five stages of the disease, and the causes and conditions associated with it. Patients speak frankly about dialysis and the benefits and limitations of kidney transplant. In addition, National Kidney Foundation spokesperson Tracy Fortson addresses the high incidence of kidney disease in minority communities."--Container.
