Kidney disease is becoming increasingly common throughout the United States for a multitude of reasons, with more End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) diagnoses every year. The CDC recently conducted a study on the point prevalence per million residents of ESRD by state, and the District of Columbia was included too. Here are the results:
window. ChartJsPromise().then(function(){ Chart.defaults.font.family = $(".chartjs_wrapper canvas").css("font-family"); var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart1").getContext("2d"); var myChart = new Chart(ctx, { "type": "line", "data": { "labels": ['2014','2015','2016','2017','2018'], "datasets": [{ "label": "US Average", "borderColor": "#05182E", "backgroundColor": "#05182E", "data": [1879.1,1912.2,1941.6,1970.5,2002.7], "yAxisID": "y" }, { "label": "District of Columbia", "borderColor": "#436C85", "backgroundColor": "#436C85", "data": [2283.3,2390.6,2557.2,2778.2,2887.5], "yAxisID": "y" }] }, "options": { responsive: true, "plugins": { tooltip:{callbacks:{label:function(context){return context.dataset.label + ': ' + context.dataset.data[context.dataIndex]}}},"title": { "display": true, "font": { "size": 16 }, "text": "Incidence of End-Stage Renal Disease per Million Residents" } }, "interaction": { "intersect": false, "mode": "index" }, "scales": { "x": { "display": true, "title": { "display": false, "text": "Year" } }, "y": { "beginAtZero": true, "title": { "display": true, "text" : "Prevalence per Million Residents"}, ticks: { callback: function(value, index){ return this.getLabelForValue(value) } } } } } }); });
Washington D. C.’s numbers were very high, and that’s only partially a function of the District of Columbia’s relatively low population. Even if your loved one doesn’t have ESRD yet, you may want to do some preliminary research on dialysis clinics in Washington D. C. so that you are prepared just in case.
