My Senior Project Presentation was called "The Gift of Life: Current Organ Donation Attitudes and Persuasive Messages". The study was conducted in order to discover what types of messages influence the decision to register or not register as an organ donor. Through quantitive methods and extensive research, our study found that emotional and sympathetic messages were the most effective in persuading people to register as organ donors.

Introduction: Medicine is a fast evolving even if inexact science. Built in ancient times upon insightful observations of Egyptian, Greek and Arabic physicians [11. Lyons AS, Petrucelli RJ II (1978) Medicine. An Illustrated History. Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York.], its progress was spearheaded by European (mainly British, French, German and Austrian) scientists after the middle ages. If the assignment of Nobel prizes is a guideline is this regard, in the last century the leadership was taken over by the United States. Both physicians and lay persons may be inclined to assume therefore, that the achievements of medical research are utilized in America in everyday practice and that progress runs parallel in all branches of medicine.
This presentation highlights some of the largest fundraising events across the United States. These events give 100% of their earnings to worthy causes.

Introduction
My study is focused on chronic kidney disease (CKD). The research I conducted elaborated that chronic kidney disease has been established as a cause of renal failure. Kidneys have the responsibility of excess fluids plus blood waste filtration, the building up of wastes results to kidney failure. Two major causes of CKD exist; these are categorized into high blood pressure and the element of diabetes. Acute kidney failure may lead to fatalities why may need intensive treatment immediately; however, this condition can be reversed, by the right health conditions, patients can regain normalcy of kidney functions. However, other patients may need a kidney transplant. Various resources have been used in the mitigation of CKD at both the community and national levels (Thomas, 2019).
According to estimates, more than 240 people who are on dialysis die daily. The ratings establish that 15%, which is approximately 37 million civilians, are living with chronic kidney disease. These estimates determine that 9 out of 10 people who live with chronic kidney disease aren't aware of their health condition. On the other hand, 1 out of two people that have very low kidney functionality but not on dialysis aren't mindful of their CKD condition (Daugirdas, 2012).
Healthy people 2020 on CKD
The main objective of healthy people 2020 on CKD is to help mitigate and enhance a reduction in new cases of infection of CKD and complications that are associated with it, for instance, economic implications and death. In the United States, CKD and ESRD have been established as a significant problem in the public health sector, which is the primary source of suffering and cases of poor life quality for the affected persons. Both are accountable for premature deaths and exacting high economic afflictions in both the public and private health sectors (Bomback & Bakris, 2010).
Achievement of Healthy people 2020 objectives on CKD may lead to a burden decrease in CKD, and increased life expectancy, and better life quality for civilians living with CKD and the disparities elimination, which exist, between patients who have chronic kidney disease. Generally, ERSD and CKD are highly cost intensive; approximately 25% of the established Medicare budget is applied in the treatment of people living with CKD and ESRD (Thomas, 2019).
Chronic kidney disease resources
Various resources have been used in the mitigation of CKD at both the community and national levels.
American association of kidney patients
This is the largest and oldest fully independent U.S. kidney patient's organization, which was established in 1969 when six dialysis patients came together with encouragement from the doctor. The founders of this organization assisted in the creation of the ESRD program that has since 1973, has be.
World Kidney Day is a worldwide campaign to create awareness about kidney disease and its associated health problems. Every year, many activities from public screenings in Argentina to Zumba marathons in Malaysia take place throughout the world. We do everything in our power to create knowledge about the sensitivity for protective action, understanding of hazards, and to provide insights on how to survive with renal disease.

“This walk will help many others take the lifesaving step of getting their kidneys
checked,” said Chad Iseman, Division President of the National Kidney Foundation’s

kidney failure. An additional 2,679,017 residents are at an increased risk of developing

“The Walk is important because it educates people how to better detect kidney disease,
“ said Katlyn Benskin, Co-Chair of the Mid-Missouri Kidney Walk. “I look forward to
seeing the returning teams as well as those joining us this year. It is amazing to see
everyone come together to unite under one cause.”
