GI Tract Bleeding a Serious Problem for Patients with Kidney Failure

In a report from the Doctor’s Lounge, gastrointestinal (GI) tract bleeding is a serious problem for patients with kidney failure. When a severe health condition prevents an individual from working for a period of time, they may be entitled to long-term disability benefits.

A new study shows that the potential for bleeding in the stomach, intestines, and esophagus can cause serious health problems and may even lead to an earlier death. The risk for kidney failure patients is even higher when they are on dialysis.

Findings from the study indicate that in comparison to the general population, the rate of GI tract bleeding is 10 times higher for patients with kidney failure. Additionally, 12% of those patients died within a month of experiencing GI tract bleeding. Researchers indicate that these findings demonstrate the importance of finding ways to prevent and better treat upper GI bleeding.

Although you may qualify for long-term disability benefits, you may find that your claim has been denied. When you need assistance with appealing a denied claim or you need help in applying for disability benefits, seek assistance from a Broward County Long-Term disability attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case.

Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don’t make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve.
