Schyłkowa niewydolność nerek
Epidemiologia
Schyłkowa niewydolność nerek (ESRD) stanowi istotne wyzwanie zdrowia publicznego, z ponad 808 000 pacjentów żyjących z tą chorobą w USA w 2023 roku (około 2 na 1000 mieszkańców). Zapadalność na ESRD w USA w 2018 roku wynosiła 390,2 na milion mieszkańców, a chorobowość 242 na milion. Główne przyczyny ESRD to cukrzyca (38-46%) i nadciśnienie tętnicze (27-29%), które odpowiadają za około 2/3 nowych przypadków. Wskaźniki ESRD są wyższe wśród Afroamerykanów (393,5/milion) i rdzennych Amerykanów, a także u osób w wieku 45-64 lat i mężczyzn. Leczenie ESRD opiera się na terapii nerkozastępczej: hemodializie (70,7% pacjentów), dializie otrzewnowej oraz przeszczepie nerki (29,3%), przy czym przeszczepienie nerki zapewnia najwyższą 5-letnią przeżywalność (83,4-93,8%) w porównaniu do hemodializy (41,4%) i dializy otrzewnowej (46,9%). Koszty leczenia ESRD są wysokie, z rocznym kosztem na pacjenta wynoszącym 93 000 USD dla hemodializy, 78 000 USD dla dializy otrzewnowej i 37 000 USD dla biorców przeszczepu nerki. Wzrost liczby pacjentów z ESRD oraz koszty opieki zdrowotnej stanowią poważne obciążenie dla systemu opieki zdrowotnej.

Epidemiologia schyłkowej niewydolności nerek
Schyłkowa niewydolność nerek (ang. end-stage renal disease, ESRD) stanowi poważny problem zdrowia publicznego na całym świecie, wpływając znacząco na jakość i długość życia pacjentów oraz generując znaczne koszty opieki zdrowotnej. W Stanach Zjednoczonych z powodu schyłkowej niewydolności nerek żyje ponad 500 000 osób, a choroba ta stanowi dziewiątą najczęstszą przyczynę zgonów.12 Leczenie ESRD wymaga terapii nerkozastępczej w postaci dializy lub przeszczepu nerki, przy czym przeszczepienie nerki zapewnia największą poprawę przeżywalności i jakości życia, jednak zdecydowana większość pacjentów początkowo leczona jest hemodializą.3
Zachorowalność i chorobowość
W 2018 roku zapadalność na ESRD w Stanach Zjednoczonych wynosiła 390,2 na milion mieszkańców, a chorobowość 242 na milion.4 Według danych z United States Renal Data System, w 2015 roku odnotowano 124 411 nowych przypadków ESRD, co odzwierciedla rosnące obciążenie związane z niewydolnością nerek. Chorobowość wzrasta stabilnie o około 20 000 przypadków rocznie.5
W latach 2000-2019 liczba przypadków ESRD w Stanach Zjednoczonych wzrosła o 41,8%, z 92 660 do 131 422, podczas gdy liczba przypadków chorobowości zwiększyła się o 118,7%, z 358 247 do 783 594.6 Według danych z 2023 roku ponad 808 000 osób w USA (2 na 1000 mieszkańców) żyje z ESRD.7
Co niepokojące, bez zwiększonych inwestycji w profilaktykę, całkowita liczba pacjentów z niewydolnością nerek (ESRD) prawdopodobnie przekroczy 1 milion do 2030 roku.8 Według danych z 2010 roku, około 2,6 miliona osób na całym świecie otrzymywało terapię nerkozastępczą, a szacuje się, że liczba ta wzrośnie do 5,4 miliona do 2030 roku.9
Różnice demograficzne i geograficzne
Stopień niewydolności nerek znacznie różni się w zależności od rasy i grupy etnicznej. W 2015 roku wskaźnik ESRD był trzykrotnie wyższy wśród Afroamerykanów w porównaniu do białych (393,5 w porównaniu do 139,9 na milion mieszkańców). W tym samym roku chorobowość ESRD była około dziesięciokrotnie wyższa wśród rdzennych Amerykanów lub rdzennych mieszkańców Alaski i dwukrotnie wyższa wśród rdzennych Hawajczyków lub mieszkańców Wysp Pacyfiku. Wskaźniki chorobowości były 1,3 razy wyższe wśród Azjatów.10
W latach 2000-2019, zarówno w przypadkach incydentalnych, jak i istniejących ESRD, 34,9%-42,3% występowało wśród osób w wieku 45-64 lat, 53,4%-58,3% wśród mężczyzn, a 44,7%-55,2% wśród osób rasy białej.11 Skumulowana częstość występowania schyłkowej niewydolności nerek jest wyższa wśród mężczyzn niż kobiet.12
Częstość występowania ESRD różni się również w zależności od regionu geograficznego w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Wskaźniki zapadalności wahają się od niskiego poziomu 250 PMPY (na milion osobolat) w Nowej Anglii do 432 PMPY w Teksasie, co stanowi prawie 1,4-krotną różnicę.13
Czynniki ryzyka i przyczyny
Cukrzyca i nadciśnienie są najczęstszymi przyczynami ESRD, powodując lub przyczyniając się do 2/3 nowych przypadków niewydolności nerek.14 W Stanach Zjednoczonych cukrzyca (38%) i nadciśnienie tętnicze (27%) są głównymi przyczynami schyłkowej niewydolności nerek.15 W latach 2019-2021 cukrzyca (46%; 179 187 przypadków) jako wiodąca przyczyna niewydolności nerek i nadciśnienie tętnicze (29%; 113 887 przypadków) jako druga wiodąca przyczyna, stanowiły główne rozpoznanie w 76% (293 074 przypadki) wszystkich nowych przypadków niewydolności nerek (391 387 przypadków).16
Inne główne przyczyny ESRD to:
- Kłębuszkowe zapalenie nerek – trzecia najczęstsza postać choroby nerek17
- Choroby dziedziczne, takie jak wielotorbielowatość nerek, choroba Fabry’ego18
- Wady wrodzone rozwijające się w okresie płodowym19
- Nefropatia toczniowa, nefropatia IgA (choroba Bergera) i inne choroby immunologiczne20
- Przeszkody, takie jak kamienie nerkowe lub powiększony gruczoł krokowy21
- Odmiedniczkowe zapalenie nerek lub zapalenie nerek spowodowane zakażeniem bakteryjnym22
- Nawracające infekcje dróg moczowych, które mogą również prowadzić do infekcji nerek i powodować długotrwałe uszkodzenie nerek23
Wiek jako czynnik ryzyka
Częstość występowania przewlekłej choroby nerek (CKD) wzrasta wraz z wiekiem, przy czym najszybszy wzrost obserwuje się u osób w wieku 60 lat lub starszych. Na przykład częstość występowania wynosi 6,0% w wieku 18-44 lat i 38,1% w wieku powyżej 65 lat.24 W Stanach Zjednoczonych częstość występowania CKD dramatycznie wzrasta z wiekiem: wynosi 6% u osób w wieku 18-44 lat, 12% u osób w wieku 45-64 lat i 34% u osób w wieku 65 lat lub starszych.25
Starsi pacjenci są najbardziej narażeni na rozwój ESRD.26 Jednak warto zauważyć, że najmłodsi pacjenci z ESRD mają najmniej korzystne rokowania. Pacjenci z ESRD w wieku poniżej 1 roku mają 5-letnią prawdopodobieństwo przeżycia wynoszące 76% w porównaniu z 83% u pacjentów w wieku 1-5 lat i 95% u pacjentów w wieku powyżej 6 lat.27
Różnice rasowe i etniczne
| Grupa etniczna/rasowa | Współczynnik ryzyka ESRD | Częstość występowania CKD |
|---|---|---|
| Czarnoskórzy/Afroamerykanie | 4 razy wyższy niż u białych | 20% |
| Latynosi/Latynosi | 2 razy wyższy niż u białych | 14% |
| Azjaci | 1,4 razy wyższy niż u białych | 14% |
| Rdzenni Amerykanie/Mieszkańcy Alaski | 2 razy wyższy niż u białych | Brak danych |
| Biali | Grupa referencyjna | 12% |
W porównaniu z osobami rasy białej, osoby czarnoskóre, Latynosi oraz rdzenni Amerykanie lub rdzenni mieszkańcy Alaski są około dwa do trzech razy bardziej narażeni na rozwój ESRD.28 Afroamerykanie stanowią 30% wszystkich pacjentów z niewydolnością nerek, mimo że grupa ta stanowi 13% populacji USA.29 Wskaźnik zapadalności na ESRD wśród czarnoskórych w Stanach Zjednoczonych jest prawie 4 razy większy niż wśród białych.30
Częstość występowania CKD wśród Meksykanów-Amerykanów była niższa niż w innych grupach rasowych/etnicznych, ale prawie podwoiła się między latami 2003-2004 a 2015-2016, z 1,6% do 3,5%.31
Tendencje epidemiologiczne i czynniki wpływające
Zmiany w czasie
Zapadalność na ESRD spadła w Stanach Zjednoczonych od 2006 roku, częściowo z powodu lepszego rozpoznania i opieki nad CKD, co skutkuje zmniejszeniem progresji CKD do ESRD.32 Skorygowana zapadalność na ESRD w USA spadła o 8,9% w latach 2000-2019. W tym okresie jednak liczba pacjentów z nowo zarejestrowanym ESRD wzrosła z 97 856 do 134 837, co stanowi wzrost o 37,8%.33
Według National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), ogólna częstość występowania CKD w USA pozostaje stosunkowo stabilna od 2004 roku. Największy wzrost nastąpił u osób z CKD w stadium 3, z 4,5% do 6,0%.34
W przeciwieństwie do zapadalności, chorobowość i wskaźniki nadal znacznie rosną, głównie z powodu zwiększonej długowieczności pacjentów z ESRD, zwłaszcza tych otrzymujących dializę podtrzymującą.35 Jedno z badań wykazało 70% wzrost liczby pacjentów poddawanych dializie między 1990 a 2010 rokiem.36
Przeżywalność/umieralność
ESRD wiąże się ze znacznym skróceniem oczekiwanej długości życia, niezależnie od rodzaju terapii nerkozastępczej.37 5-letnia przeżywalność od początku ESRD wynosiła 41,4% dla pacjentów na hemodializie i 46,9% dla pacjentów na dializie otrzewnowej. Pięcioletnia przeżywalność była najwyższa u pacjentów, którzy otrzymali przeszczep, wahając się od 83,4% do 93,8%, w zależności od rodzaju przeszczepu nerki.38
Globalny wskaźnik umieralności dla wszystkich grup wiekowych z powodu CKD wzrósł o 41,5% w latach 1990-2017.39 Szacuje się, że globalna śmiertelność z powodu chorób nerek wynosi od 5 do 11 milionów rocznie, a dysfunkcja nerek jest obecnie siódmym najważniejszym czynnikiem ryzyka zgonu.40
Najwyższy wskaźnik umieralności jest w ciągu pierwszych 6 miesięcy od rozpoczęcia dializy. Śmiertelność ma tendencję do poprawy w ciągu kolejnych 6 miesięcy, zanim stopniowo zwiększy się w ciągu następnych 4 lat.41
Metody leczenia i opieki
Wśród pacjentów z ESRD, 70,7% jest leczonych hemodializą (HD) lub dializą otrzewnową (PD), a 29,3% ma przeszczep nerki.42 Prawie 90% pacjentów z ESRD będzie poddawanych HD jako początkowej metodzie leczenia i będzie kontynuować HD przez całe życie.43
W 2018 roku około 808 000 osób w USA (2 na 1000) żyło z ESRD: 69% na dializie i 31% z przeszczepem nerki.44 Co niepokojące, 12 osób umiera każdego dnia podczas oczekiwania na przeszczep nerki ratujący życie.45
Skuteczność HD jest bezpośrednio związana z jakością i spójnością dostępu naczyniowego. Stosowanie przetoki lub przeszczepu tętniczo-żylnego zamiast cewnika centralnego zwiększa przeżycie ESRD i zmniejsza infekcje, hospitalizacje i koszty.46
Przeszczepienie nerki jako terapia nerkozastępcza skutkuje najwyższym długoterminowym przeżyciem, jakością życia i najniższymi rocznymi kosztami utrzymania w porównaniu z HD lub PD.47
Koszty i obciążenie systemu opieki zdrowotnej
Koszt ESRD nadal rósł w ciągu ostatniej dekady, zwiększając się o 20,3% w dolarach skorygowanych o inflację od 2009 roku i konsekwentnie stanowi 7,1% do 7,3% wszystkich rocznych wydatków Medicare.48 W 2019 roku ESRD kosztowała $37,3 miliarda wydatków Medicare.49
Roczny koszt na pacjenta z ESRD różni się w zależności od modalności leczenia; pacjenci leczeni HD mają najwyższy roczny koszt utrzymania (93 000 USD), następnie pacjenci leczeni PD (78 000 USD) i biorcy przeszczepu nerki (37 000 USD).50
Około 25% dolarów Medicare jest wydawanych na pacjentów z chorobami nerek – $156,7 miliarda i rośnie.51 Dalszy wzrost liczby przypadków ESRD zwiększy obciążenie systemu opieki zdrowotnej i doprowadzi do wyższych kosztów.52
Nadzór i monitorowanie ESRD
Systemy nadzoru
System nadzoru chorób nerek jest kompleksowym systemem informacyjnym dotyczącym chorób nerek, mającym na celu informowanie i stymulowanie działań w zakresie zdrowia publicznego.53 W 2006 roku CDC ustanowiło inicjatywę dotyczącą przewlekłej choroby nerek (CKD), aby zapewnić strategie zdrowia publicznego promujące zdrowie nerek.54
University of Michigan Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center (UM-KECC) to interdyscyplinarna grupa badawcza zajmująca się walką z ESRD poprzez promowanie zdrowia, poprawę wyników pacjentów i informowanie o polityce publicznej dotyczącej niewydolności nerek i transplantacji. Ich baza danych ESRD stanowi podstawę badań UM-KECC, która od 1988 roku utrzymuje dużą bazę danych.55
Cele zdrowia publicznego
Najnowszy raport Głównego Chirurga USA dotyczący 10-letnich celów krajowych poprawy zdrowia wszystkich Amerykanów, Healthy People 2030, zawiera rozdział poświęcony CKD. Na rok 2030 Healthy People określa 14 celów dotyczących zmniejszenia zapadalności, zachorowalności, śmiertelności i kosztów zdrowotnych CKD w USA.56
Jednym z celów inicjatywy Advancing American Kidney Health Initiative Departamentu Zdrowia i Usług Społecznych USA jest zmniejszenie liczby Amerykanów rozwijających ESRD o 25% do 2030 roku.57
Zmniejszenie niewydolności nerek będzie wymagać dodatkowych wysiłków w zakresie zdrowia publicznego, w tym skutecznych strategii profilaktycznych oraz wczesnego wykrywania i leczenia CKD.58
Wyzwania w wykrywaniu i świadomości
Początki CKD często pozostają niewykryte, przy czym 10% pacjentów ze stadium 3 CKD lub niższym jest świadomych swojego stanu.59 Około 9 na 10 dorosłych z chorobą nerek (90%) nie wie, że ją ma.60 Około 1 na 3 (40%) dorosłych z ciężką chorobą nerek nie wie, że ją ma.61
Osoby z chorobą nerek mogą nie czuć się chore ani nie zauważać objawów, dopóki choroba nie będzie zaawansowana.62 Dwa proste testy (krew/mocz) mogą wcześnie wykryć chorobę nerek. Najwcześniejsze wykrycie ma kluczowe znaczenie, aby dalsze uszkodzenia mogły zostać spowolnione lub zatrzymane.63
Zwiększenie częstotliwości testów wśród osób z czynnikami ryzyka CKD może poprawić wczesne wykrywanie i leczenie, opóźnić postęp choroby i zwiększyć świadomość CKD.64
Perspektywy globalne i regionalne
Obciążenie globalne
Według badania Global Burden of Disease (GBD), globalna częstość występowania CKD wzrosła o 33% między 1990 a 2017 rokiem. Co istotne, największy wzrost obciążenia CKD (częstość występowania i śmiertelność) koncentruje się poza krajami o wysokim dochodzie, przy czym prawie jedna trzecia wszystkich pacjentów z CKD mieszka w samych Indiach i Chinach.65
W 2017 roku na całym świecie odnotowano 697,5 miliona przypadków CKD (wszystkie stadia), co daje globalną częstość występowania 9,1%.66 Około 700 milionów osób na całym świecie ma CKD. Do tego należy dodać globalne obciążenie związane z ostrą niewydolnością nerek i niewydolnością nerek (w tym osoby otrzymujące dializę i biorców przeszczepu nerki), co zwiększa globalną częstość występowania chorób nerek do około 850 milionów, co przekłada się na globalną częstość występowania 10%.67
W 2040 roku choroba nerek ma spowodować 52 miliony utraconych lat życia (YLL), przesuwając się z 16. najczęstszej przyczyny YLL (w 2016 r.) na piątą, przewyższając inne główne czynniki powodujące wczesną śmiertelność z powodu chorób niezakaźnych wymienione przez WHO, takie jak cukrzyca.68
Różnice regionalne i krajowe
W 2006 roku średni wskaźnik zapadalności na ESRD w 10 krajach regionu Wschodniego Śródziemnomorza, w tym w Jemenie, wynosił 93 pacjentów na milion osób.69 W Wielkiej Brytanii zapadalność na ESRD podwoiła się w ciągu ostatnich dziesięciu lat i osiągnęła obecnie 101 pacjentów na milion ludności (pmp). Jest to poniżej średniej europejskiej i amerykańskiej wynoszącej odpowiednio około 135 pmp i 336 pmp.70
Roczna zapadalność na ESRD w Maroku została oszacowana na 42 i 48 przypadków na milion populacji (pmp). Dla porównania, odpowiednie dane w Japonii i USA wynoszą odpowiednio 1 400 pmp i 1 100 pmp.71
Problemy w krajach rozwijających się
Epidemiologia pacjentów dializowanych była mało badana w krajach rozwijających się i gospodarkach w okresie przejściowym.72 W wielu częściach świata brakuje programów wczesnego wykrywania i badań przesiewowych w kierunku chorób nerek, co skutkuje powszechnym brakiem świadomości na temat obciążenia i częstości występowania wcześniejszych stadiów CKD.73
Mimo prawdopodobnie dużego obciążenia ESRD w krajach o niskim i średnim dochodzie, stosunkowo niewielu pacjentów otrzymuje terapię nerkozastępczą.74 W Somalii schyłkowa niewydolność nerek pozostaje niezbadana z powodu braku krajowego systemu rejestru, a wpływ choroby w kraju nie został jeszcze oszacowany.75
W krajach rozwijających się, takich jak Kazachstan, odnotowano wzrost częstości występowania i zapadalności na ESRD na dializie, podczas gdy wskaźnik śmiertelności zmniejszył się z czasem w latach 2014-2018.76 Częstość występowania i zapadalność w 2014 r. wynosiły odpowiednio 135,2 i 68,9 na milion populacji (PMP) i różniły się od 2018 r. (odpowiednio 350,2 i 94,9 PMP).77
Szczególne populacje i okoliczności
ESRD u dzieci
Dzieci, młodzież i młodzi dorośli stanowią mniej niż 5% populacji z ESRD, a ich 10-letnie przeżycie wynosi od 70% do 85%.78 Jednak rozwój ESRD ogranicza oczekiwaną długość życia pacjentów, przy czym wskaźnik umieralności specyficzny dla wieku u dzieci poddawanych dializie jest od 30 do 150 razy wyższy niż u zdrowych rówieśników.79
W ciągu ostatnich 2 dekad częstość występowania przewlekłej choroby nerek u dzieci stale rosła, przy czym biedne dzieci i dzieci należące do mniejszości etnicznych były nieproporcjonalnie dotknięte.80 Według danych NHANES z lat 2005-2020, 0,51% dzieci w USA w wieku 12-17 lat miało niski eGFR (≤60 ml/min/1,73 m2).81
Globalnie częstość występowania CKD w stadium II lub niższym u dzieci jest rzędu około 18,5-58,3 na milion dzieci.82 W badaniu z Indii dzieci stanowiły 5,3% wszystkich pacjentów z przewlekłą chorobą nerek poddanych leczeniu w szpitalu referencyjnym.83
Najczęstszą przyczyną ESRD u dzieci są wrodzone nieprawidłowości układu moczowego nerek (CAKUT), następnie zaburzenia dziedziczne.84
Szczególne populacje ryzyka
Gruźlica (TB) pozostaje ważnym problemem wśród pacjentów z ESRD. W porównaniu do gruźlicy w populacji ogólnej, pacjenci z ESRD mają 625-krotnie wyższe wskaźniki zapadalności na gruźlicę, a śmiertelność podczas leczenia jest 23-krotnie wyższa.85
Pandemia COVID-19 niewspółmiernie dotknęła pacjentów z ESRD, którzy są narażeni na wysokie ryzyko zachorowalności i śmiertelności związanej z COVID z powodu chorób sercowo-naczyniowych związanych z ESRD, a także immunosupresji u biorców przeszczepów.86 COVID-19 nadal zagraża zdrowiu i życiu pacjentów z chorobami nerek.87
Pacjenci z ESRD są również narażeni na zwiększone ryzyko infekcyjnego zapalenia wsierdzia (IE), które wiąże się z wysokimi wskaźnikami zachorowalności i śmiertelności. Do czynników ryzyka należą: rodzaj dostępu naczyniowego, modalność dializy i choroby współistniejące.88 Częstość występowania IE wśród pacjentów dializowanych, szczególnie tych poddawanych hemodializie, jest znacznie wyższa w porównaniu do pacjentów niedializowanych i wzrosła w ostatnich latach.89
Choroby reumatyczne i ESRD
Wyniki chorób reumatycznych (RD) poprawiły się w ciągu ostatnich dziesięcioleci. Jednak znaczna część pacjentów nadal cierpi na ESRD i musi ponosić ciężar hemodializy.90 Rozwój ESRD wiąże się z wysokim wskaźnikiem śmiertelności i stanowi wyzwanie kliniczne dla reumatologów i nefrologów.91
Płeć męska może być związana z gorszym rokowaniem w przypadku wyników klinicznych nefropatii toczniowej i progresji do ESRD.92 Niewydolność nerek twardziny (SRC) charakteryzuje się szybko postępującym uszkodzeniem nerek i nadciśnieniem w wyniku proliferacyjnej i obliteracyjnej waskulopatii bez zmian zapalnych lub złogów immunologicznych.93 Duża część pacjentów z SRC tymczasowo lub na stałe wymaga dializy, chociaż samo SRC nie jest powszechne.94
Kilka badań wykazało, że choroba nerek związana z mikroskopowym zapaleniem naczyń/ziarniniakowatością z zapaleniem naczyń (MPA/GPA) postępuje do ESRD w ciągu 3 do 7 lat od rozpoznania u 20%-30% pacjentów.95

More than 500,000 people in the United States live with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its progression to this terminal disease remains a significant source of reduced quality of life and premature mortality. […] According to the United States Renal Data System, in 2015, there were 124,411 new ESRD diagnoses, reflecting an increasing burden of kidney failure. The prevalence of the disease has been rising at a stable number of about 20,000 cases per year. Kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in the United States. […] The degree of kidney failure varies widely by race in the US. In 2015, the rate of ESRD was three times higher in African Americans compared to Whites (393.5 versus 139.9 per million population). That same year, the ESRD prevalence was about ten times higher in American Indians or Alaska Natives and twice as high in Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders. Prevalence rates were 1.3 times higher in Asian Americans, as well. Of note, incidence rates in the African American population have decreased each year since 2006, leading to an overall decrease of 21%. This reduction has been even more pronounced in American Indians/Alaska Natives. […] The prevalence of CKD increases with age, with the most rapid growth in people aged 60 years or older. For example, the prevalence is 6.0% at ages 18 to 44 years and 38.1% at ages more than 65 years. […] The cumulative incidence of end-stage renal disease is higher in males than females.
- #2 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Practice Essentials, Pathophysiology, Etiologyhttps://emedicine.medscape.com/article/238798-overview
In the United States, more than 1 in 7 adults (14% of the adult population, or 35.5 million people) are estimated to have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in the United States. […] According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the overall prevalence of CKD in the US has remained relatively stable since 2004. The largest increase occurred in people with stage 3 CKD, from 4.5% to 6.0%. […] In the US, the prevalence of CKD increases dramatically with age: it is 6% in persons 18 to 44 years, 12% in those 45 to 64 years, and 34% in those 65 or older. […] The adjusted incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the US fell by 8.9% from 2000 to 2019. Over that period, however, the number of patients with newly registered ESKD rose from 97,856 to 134,837, an increase of 37.8%.
- #3 Epidemiology of end-stage kidney diseasehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8177747/
End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a common and morbid disease that affects patients quality and length of life, representing a large portion of health care expenditure in the United States. […] Management of ESKD requires renal replacement therapy via dialysis or transplantation. […] While transplantation provides the greatest improvement in survival and quality of life, the vast majority of patients are treated initially with hemodialysis. […] However, outcomes differ significantly among patient populations. […] Barriers in access to care have particularly affected at-risk populations, such as Black and Hispanic patients. […] In 2018, the incidence of ESKD in the United States was 390.2 per million and prevalence was 242 per million; ESKD is most commonly a result of diabetes, followed by hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and cystic kidney disease.

In 2023, more than 808,000 people in the US (2 per 1000 population) were currently living with ESKD. […] The US Surgeon General’s latest report on 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans, Healthy People 2030, contains a chapter focused on CKD. For 2030, Healthy People lays out 14 objectives concerning reduction of the US incidence, morbidity, mortality, and health costs of CKD. Reducing kidney failure will require additional public health efforts, including effective preventive strategies and early detection and treatment of CKD. […] In 2017, 697.5 million cases of CKD (all stages) were recorded worldwide, for a global prevalence of 9.1%. […] The global all-age mortality rate from CKD increased 41.5% from 1990 to 2017.

- #9 Chronic kidney disease and the global public health agenda: an international consensus | Nature Reviews Nephrologyhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41581-024-00820-6
Given its increasing prevalence, if CKD remains largely undetected and is consequently not treated, the numbers of people developing kidney failure and requiring expensive kidney replacement therapy (KRT) will naturally increase. In 2010, ~2.6 million people received KRT, and this number is estimated to increase to 5.4 million by 2030. […] The global mortality from all kidney diseases likely ranges between 5 million and 11 million per year and kidney dysfunction is currently the seventh leading risk factor for death. […] In 2040, kidney disease is predicted to cause 52 million YLL, moving from the 16th most common cause of YLL (in 2016) to the fifth, surpassing other major NCD drivers of early mortality listed by the WHO such as diabetes.

More than 500,000 people in the United States live with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its progression to this terminal disease remains a significant source of reduced quality of life and premature mortality. […] According to the United States Renal Data System, in 2015, there were 124,411 new ESRD diagnoses, reflecting an increasing burden of kidney failure. The prevalence of the disease has been rising at a stable number of about 20,000 cases per year. Kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in the United States. […] The degree of kidney failure varies widely by race in the US. In 2015, the rate of ESRD was three times higher in African Americans compared to Whites (393.5 versus 139.9 per million population). That same year, the ESRD prevalence was about ten times higher in American Indians or Alaska Natives and twice as high in Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders. Prevalence rates were 1.3 times higher in Asian Americans, as well. Of note, incidence rates in the African American population have decreased each year since 2006, leading to an overall decrease of 21%.

End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) (kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation) is a disabling condition that often results in premature death. ESKD is costly, accounting for $37.3 billion of Medicare expenditures during 2019. […] During 2000-2019, the number of ESKD cases reported in the United States increased 41.8%; the number of prevalent cases approximately doubled. Higher percentage changes in incident and prevalent ESKD cases were attributable to primary causes related to diabetes and hypertension. […] Effective management of diabetes and hypertension can help prevent ESKD and decrease the number of incident cases, thus reducing costs and alleviating the impact on the health care system. […] During 2000 and 2019, for both incident and prevalent ESKD cases, 34.9%-42.3% occurred among persons aged 45-64 years, 53.4%-58.3% occurred among males, and 44.7%-55.2% occurred among White persons.

The epidemiology of disease is best considered using the familiar concepts of incidence and prevalence. […] Incidence is typically expressed as the number of new cases divided by person-time at risk, and prevalence as the number of individuals with a disease divided by the number alive at any given point in time. […] Consideration of ESRD incidence differs from that of many other diseases. […] Establishing the incidence and prevalence of treated ESRD is not especially difficult in industrialized countries due to comprehensive registries. […] Data from the most recent USRDS registry demonstrate that, in the United States, approximately 121,000 patients developed ESRD in 2014, representing an unadjusted rate of 370 persons PMPY and a demographically adjusted rate of 354 PMPY.

The largest increase occurred in people with stage 3 CKD, from 4.5% to 6.0%. […] In the US, the prevalence of CKD increases dramatically with age: it is 6% in persons 18 to 44 years, 12% in those 45 to 64 years, and 34% in those 65 or older. […] The adjusted incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the US fell by 8.9% from 2000 to 2019. Over that period, however, the number of patients with newly registered ESKD rose from 97,856 to 134,837, an increase of 37.8%.

CKD patients with proteinuria, hypertension, and diabetes, as well as Black and Hispanic CKD patients, all have a 2- to 3-fold greater risk of progression to ESKD than patients without these risk factors. […] Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among ESKD patients, and sudden cardiac death from myocardial infarction or arrythmia accounts for 44.2% of the deaths in this population. […] ESKD carries a significant decrease in life expectancy regardless of RRT type. […] The 5-year survival from onset of ESKD was 41.4% for HD patients and 46.9% for PD patients. […] Five-year survival was highest in patients who received transplants, ranging between 83.4% and 93.8%, depending on the type of renal graft implanted. […] ESKD is most commonly due to congenital disorders, glomerular disease, or secondary glomerulonephritis.

[…] The US Surgeon General’s latest report on 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans, Healthy People 2030, contains a chapter focused on CKD. For 2030, Healthy People lays out 14 objectives concerning reduction of the US incidence, morbidity, mortality, and health costs of CKD. Reducing kidney failure will require additional public health efforts, including effective preventive strategies and early detection and treatment of CKD. […] In 2017, 697.5 million cases of CKD (all stages) were recorded worldwide, for a global prevalence of 9.1%. […] The global all-age mortality rate from CKD increased 41.5% from 1990 to 2017.

Given its increasing prevalence, if CKD remains largely undetected and is consequently not treated, the numbers of people developing kidney failure and requiring expensive kidney replacement therapy (KRT) will naturally increase. In 2010, ~2.6 million people received KRT, and this number is estimated to increase to 5.4 million by 2030. […] The global mortality from all kidney diseases likely ranges between 5 million and 11 million per year and kidney dysfunction is currently the seventh leading risk factor for death. […] In 2040, kidney disease is predicted to cause 52 million YLL, moving from the 16th most common cause of YLL (in 2016) to the fifth, surpassing other major NCD drivers of early mortality listed by the WHO such as diabetes.

The incidence of ESKD has declined in the United States since 2006, partly due to improved recognition and care of CKD, resulting in decreased progression of CKD to ESKD. […] As with CKD, ESKD occurs more commonly in Black and Hispanic patients, with rates 3.4 and 1.5 times higher, respectively, than the general population. […] Older patients are at the highest risk for developing ESKD. […] Among ESKD patients, 70.7% are treated with hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) and 29.3% have a kidney transplantation. […] The prevalence of ESKD varies across US geographic regions. […] The onset of CKD is often undetected, with 10% of patients with stage 3 CKD, or lower, being aware of their condition. […] CKD progresses to ESKD in approximately 2% of patients overall.

Kidney disease is an increasing global problem that disproportionately affects poor, vulnerable and marginalized populations, and is associated with high individual, health care and societal costs. Approximately 700 million people are estimated to have CKD worldwide. To this must be added the global burden of AKI and kidney failure (including those receiving dialysis and kidney transplant recipients), which increases the global prevalence of kidney disease to ~850 million, translating to a global prevalence 10%. Of note, this prevalence is probably an underestimate owing to the lack of early kidney disease detection and screening programmes in many parts of the world, which results in large-scale unawareness of the burden and prevalence of earlier stages of CKD.

In 2023, more than 808,000 people in the US (2 per 1000 population) were currently living with ESKD. […] The US Surgeon General’s latest report on 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans, Healthy People 2030, contains a chapter focused on CKD. For 2030, Healthy People lays out 14 objectives concerning reduction of the US incidence, morbidity, mortality, and health costs of CKD. Reducing kidney failure will require additional public health efforts, including effective preventive strategies and early detection and treatment of CKD. […] In 2017, 697.5 million cases of CKD (all stages) were recorded worldwide, for a global prevalence of 9.1%. […] The global all-age mortality rate from CKD increased 41.5% from 1990 to 2017. […] The incidence rate of ESKD among Blacks in the United States is nearly 4 times that for Whites.

Given its increasing prevalence, if CKD remains largely undetected and is consequently not treated, the numbers of people developing kidney failure and requiring expensive kidney replacement therapy (KRT) will naturally increase. In 2010, ~2.6 million people received KRT, and this number is estimated to increase to 5.4 million by 2030. […] The global mortality from all kidney diseases likely ranges between 5 million and 11 million per year and kidney dysfunction is currently the seventh leading risk factor for death. […] In 2040, kidney disease is predicted to cause 52 million YLL, moving from the 16th most common cause of YLL (in 2016) to the fifth, surpassing other major NCD drivers of early mortality listed by the WHO such as diabetes.

In 2006, the average incidence rate of ESRD in 10 countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, including Yemen, was 93 patients per million people. […] Diabetes mellitus was the most frequently reported cause of ESRD in almost all countries, accounting for 20%-40% of the cases, followed by hypertension (accounting for 11%-30%) and glomerulonephritis (accounting for 11%-24%). […] CRF is a growing problem in Yemen. […] The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors of ESRF in Saadah Governorate in Yemen. […] Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were associated with ESRF in our study. […] In conclusion, hypertension, recurrent urinary tract infection, urolithiasis, family history of ESRF, and diabetes mellitus were potential risk factors for ESRD in the Yemeni community.

The number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the subsequent need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) has reached epidemic proportion and is anticipated to rise further. Worldwide, it is estimated that over 1.1 million patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) currently require maintenance dialysis, and this number is increasing at a rate of 7% per year. If the trend continues, the number will exceed 2 million by 2010. This figure excludes developing countries, where there is less availability of and access to dialysis services, and is therefore an underestimate of the true demand. […] In the UK, the incidence of ESRD has doubled over the last ten years and has now reached 101 patients per million of population (pmp). This is below the European and US averages of approximately 135pmp and 336pmp, respectively.

The present study is the first report that aims to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, causes, and dialysis-related factors associated with readmissions in ESRD patients who were going to routine hemodialysis. […] The prevalence, causes, and reasons associated with unplanned readmission of ESRD patients in Somalia remain unexamined. Therefore, the present study is the first report that aims to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, causes, and dialysis-related factors associated with readmissions in ESRD patients who were going to routine hemodialysis. […] The prevalence of unplanned hospital readmissions within six months was higher than in many other Sub-Saharan African countries, and a missed hemodialysis session was identified as the leading cause. Uremic complications due to missed hemodialysis sessions were responsible for 40% of unplanned hospital readmissions in our study. Inadequate knowledge, wrong social beliefs about the concept of dialysis, and lack of a health insurance system that covers the higher costs of each dialysis session are believed to be the causes of missed dialysis occasions. Future studies will identify the exact reasons behind the missed hemodialysis sessions.

Chronic kidney disease is a devastating disorder, which complicated the quality of life in affected patients. Determination the epidemiology of end stage renal disease (ESRD) seems necessary to decrease the occurrence of progressive renal damage in at risk patients. This study was performed to investigate the epidemiologic characteristics and treatment modalities of children with ESRD. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 115 children with ESRD admitted during 2020-2022 in a pediatric nephrology center in Southwest of Iran. ESRD was defined as glomerular filtration rate less than 10-15 ml/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 months. A total of 115 patients (53% male) were included. Mean age at the time of ESRD was 8.47 years. The most common cause of ESRD was congenital abnormality of kidney urinary tract (CAKUT) in 36.5% of patients, followed by hereditary disorders. The majority of patients were older than 5 years at the time of ESRD, with a significant correlation to the underlying disorder (P0.001). Parental consanguinity was detected in 77% of patients, especially in hereditary disorders. RRT was performed in all patients, including hemodialysis in 71.3% and chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in 28.7%, respectively. In conclusion, CAKUT was the most common cause of ESRD in our patient population. […] Prenatal evaluation of all fetuses along with early neonatal screening of susceptible cases is suggested for preventing practice or slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important problem among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. […] Compared to TB in the general population, ESRD patients have 625-fold higher TB incidence rates, and mortality during treatment is 23-fold higher. […] Most TB cases among ESRD patients (~90%) occur among nonUS-born persons, and an analysis of genotyping data suggests that 80% of all cases result from latent TB infection (LTBI) reactivation. […] Targeted TB education, screening, and treatment for ESRD patients at highest risk for TB exposure (eg, nonUS-born persons), using interferon-gamma release assays and short course LTBI regimens (ie, isoniazid-rifapentine weekly for 12 weeks or rifampin daily for 4 months) may be an effective overall strategy for reducing TB burden in ESRD patients.

[…] Several studies have shown that renal disease of microscopic polyangiitis/granulomatosis with polyangiitis (MPA/GPA) progresses to ESRD within 3 to 7 years of diagnosis in 20%-30% of the patients. […] The presence of nephrotic/nephritic syndrome and renal impairment has been shown to be associated with a poor prognosis of HScP. […] The incidence of anti-GBM disease accounts for 1%-5% of all types of glomerulonephritis in an old report. […] The overall survival rate was 72.7% at 1 year, and the renal survival rates at 2 months and 1 year were 35.8% and 25.0%, respectively. […] Anti-GBM disease occurs more commonly in white people than in black people. […] The genetic change most closely linked to anti-GBM disease is HLA-DRB1*15:01.
