UK Renal Registry 16th Annual Report: Chapter 2 UK RRT Prevalence in 2012: National and Centre-specific Analyses

Abstract

The HD and transplant population continued to expand; the decline in the size of the prevalent PD population has plateaued. There were national, regional and dialysis centre level variations in prevalence rates. Prevalent patients were on average three years older than the prevalent RRT cohort 7 years ago. This has continued implications for service planning and ensuring equity of care for RRT patients.
