Health care executive and patient advocate Aja Best discusses her article, "How early CKD diagnosis can save lives: a transplant survivor's journey." She shares her harrowing personal experience with a delayed diagnosis of IgA nephropathy during pregnancy, which led to a challenging path through dialysis and ultimately to a life-saving kidney transplant. Aja highlights the often-silent progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a growing global health crisis, and points to critical gaps in the health care system that prevent timely intervention. The conversation explores the importance of early screening, proactive and coordinated care, the potential of technology and predictive analytics to improve patient outcomes, and the power of patient advocacy. Aja passionately calls for systemic changes and greater awareness to ensure others don't face the same missed opportunities she did. The key takeaway is: Early CKD detection through routine screening and a more integrated, patient-centered health care approach can significantly alter disease progression, improve lives, and reduce the burden of this widespread condition.
