Kidney Disease Surveillance System
2021 – 2026
Project Overview
Objective
To support a comprehensive surveillance and information system for kidney disease to both inform and to help stimulate public health action. The vision for this project is to not only help maintain, but substantially increase the utility and impact of the Kidney Disease Surveillance System.
Project Motivation
Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting more than 37 million U.S. adults. Other major issues with this condition are low awareness, low detection and diagnosis rates, stark disparities, high morbidity, mortality and progression to end stage kidney disease, suffering and cost. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Kidney Disease Surveillance project has a serious responsibility to both inform and to help stimulate public health action.

University of Michigan Survey Research Center
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Kidney Disease Surveillance System is the first surveillance system of its kind developed in the United States to focus on tracking kidney disease prior to end stage kidney disease.
The University of Michigan partnered with Mathematica to support the Kidney Disease Surveillance System. Findings from this system highlighted on the project’s website are intended to raise awareness of multiple facets of kidney disease (prevalence and incidence, risk factors, awareness, quality of care, health outcomes, and its social determinants of health), to spur individuals, communities, policymakers, researchers, clinicians, and health systems to bring about incremental and sustainable improvements to reduce the impact of this often-neglected non-communicable disease.
Mathematica manages and maintains the Kidney Disease Surveillance System website. We lead all technical components of the website including user experience and user interface expertise and the development of data visualizations for data procured by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
