Overview

The incidence and prevalence of chronic renal failure varies enormously depending on the level of affluence of the country. Developed countries have a higher incident rate of treated end-stage renal failure, whereas the emerging countries have very low incident rates. There are currently about one million patients undergoing dialysis worldwide, with an incidence of 0.25 million patients each year.
