Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is crucial for managing end-stage kidney disease.
  • Understanding national RRT data provides insights into disease burden and treatment practices.
  • Slovenia's national RRT registry offers a comprehensive overview of kidney care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the 2013 Slovenian renal replacement therapy (RRT) data.
  • To report on patient demographics, treatment modalities, and outcomes.
  • To provide a comprehensive epidemiological overview of RRT in Slovenia.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 24 Slovenian renal centers (23 dialysis, 1 RRT transplant).
  • 100% response rate for individual patient questionnaires.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, RRT types, vascular access, and mortality rates.

Main Results:

  • 2077 patients (1008.3 pmp) received RRT in 2013.
  • Hemodialysis (65%), peritoneal dialysis (2.5%), and kidney grafts (32.5%) were reported.
  • 260 incident patients began RRT, with a median age of 69 years; crude death rate was 11.4%.

Conclusions:

  • The 2013 data provides a complete picture of RRT in Slovenia.
  • Hemodialysis remains the predominant RRT modality.
  • Further analysis can inform strategies for improving kidney disease management.
