Abstract

In the United States, more than 200,000 patients undergo dialysis and 70,000 patients have functioning kidney transplants.1 The prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing at 7% to 9% annually, making it likely that more than 350,000 patients with ESRD will be cared for in the United States by the year 2010. The annual incidence of ESRD is 242 cases per million population, although Blacks have a disproportionately high incidence (758 per million population per year) as compared with Whites (180 per million population per year).1 Diabetes accounts for 35% of newly diagnosed cases of ESRD, making it the most common cause of renal failure, followed by hypertension (30%). Other causes of ESRD include glomerulopathy, cystic and interstitial renal disease, and obstructive uropathy.
