Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 12 page research paper that both summarizes and critiques the Healthy People 2010 program in regards to Chronic Kidney Disease. The Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010) program is founded upon a set of 10-year evidence based objectives designed to improve the overall health status of Americans. There are two overarching goals for this program, which are to “increase the quality and years of healthy life” for all Americans, but especially in regards to those with chronic illness, and to eliminate health disparities between demographic groups (HP 2010, 2005). This critique of HP 2010 looks specifically at the focus area of chronic kidney disease in regard to the midcourse review that took place in 2005. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

status of Americans. There are two overarching goals for this program, which are to "increase the quality and years of healthy life" for all Americans, but especially in regards to
those with chronic illness, and to eliminate health disparities between demographic groups (HP 2010, 2005). The following critique of HP 2010 looks specifically at the focus area of chronic kidney
disease in regard to the midcourse review that took place in 2005. Chronic Kidney Disease, parameters with the overall US Prevention Agenda: Chronic kidney failure (CKF) is the most
significant diagnosis that occurs as a results of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (CKD, 2005). When CKD is this advanced and kidney function has deteriorated to the point that it can
no longer sustain life, the prognosis is considered to be irreversible and "renal replacement therapy (RRT), i.e., either dialysis or transplantation, is required to save lives (CKD, 2005). Also referred
to as end-stage renal disease (ESRD, this is the "most feared consequence of kidney disease" (CKD, 2005. p. 4-3). Chronic renal insufficiency is another serious consequence of CKD, and
this condition can also negatively impact health and quality of life. Unfortunately, chronic renal insufficiency is typically without any overt symptoms and, therefore, the precise number of American suffering form
this condition is unknown (CKD, 2005). The challenge facing this focus area of HP 2010 is to establish effective programs that will inhibit the progression of "established kidney disease," while
instituting methodology designed to evaluate the progress of these initiatives (CKD, 2005, p. 4-4). A variety of underlying diseases have been implicated in causing progressive kidney failure. The two
most significant of these diseases are diabetes and high blood pressure, with diabetic patients accounting for 42 percent of new cases of CKF and high blood pressure accounting for 26
