While the Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health focused on the long-underserved needs of patients with CKD, it did not include children in its scope, highlighting the continued need for special attention to the pediatric population with chronic kidney disease.
The Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health (AAKH) focused overdue attention on the long-underserved needs of patients with CKD. Mostnotably, it called for broad changes in care delivery, especially the current approach to KRT in chronic pediatric kidney failure. Although a child featured prominently in the AAKH public announcement, children with CKD are not actually included in the AAKH. While a small proportion of the total CKD population, there are compelling reasons why children warrant special attention.
