We warmly welcome the announcement about the listing of oral therapy dapagliflozin on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in Australia from 1 September 2022 to reduce the risk of progressive decline in kidney function in adults with proteinuric chronic kidney disease who meet the specific criteria of the PBS listing.
Nearly 1 in 2 Australians are living with a chronic disease and 1 in 5 Australians are living with multiple conditions.
It's estimated some 1.7 million Australians have at least one sign of chronic kidney disease that can be picked up with a simple blood test. That's one in 10 Australians over the age of 18. But most of those people are unaware they're at risk. This means that, like Lesley, they won't find out their kidneys are failing until it's too late.
"It really is a silent killer," Lesley says.
