The probability isP(you have the disease)*P(the test shows positive when testing someone with the disease) +P(you don't have the disease)*P(the test shows positive when testing someone without the disease).The second category is particularly important if the disease is rare but the probability of a type II error is large.
Sickle Cell Disease can be found in patients of any nationality or decent.

Yes, there is a difference between kidney disease and kidney failure. Kidney disease refers to any condition that affects the kidneys and impairs their function, such as inflammation, infections, or structural issues.

Kidney failure is a more advanced stage of kidney disease where the kidneys are no longer able to function properly.
The incidence of disease is how frequent or widespread a disease is in the population. Severity is how bad and serious any particular disease is in a person.
Vaccination is used to prevent a disease and medication is used to treat a disease that someone has.
