Summary
The 2017 European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association Registry report shows varied renal replacement therapy (RRT) rates across 37 countries. Haemodialysis was the primary treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with a 5-year survival of 50.8%.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
Background:
- Presents the 2017 European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Registry Annual Report.
- Summarizes the epidemiology of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) across 37 European countries.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the incidence, prevalence, and treatment modalities of RRT in Europe for 2017.
- To report on kidney transplantation activity and patient survival probabilities.
Main Methods:
- Collected individual patient data from 32 national/regional renal registries and aggregated data from 21 registries.
- Calculated incidence and prevalence of RRT, kidney transplantation rates, and patient survival probabilities.
Main Results:
- In 2017, RRT incidence was 127 per million population (pmp), with significant variation (37-252 pmp).
- RRT prevalence reached 854 pmp, with Portugal showing the highest (1965 pmp) and Ukraine the lowest (210 pmp).
- The 5-year patient survival probability for RRT initiated between 2008-2012 was 50.8%.
Conclusions:
- Significant geographical disparities exist in RRT incidence and prevalence across Europe.
- Haemodialysis remains the predominant RRT modality at treatment onset.
- Further research is needed to understand and address survival variations in ESRD patients.

01:18Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods

Different methods, such as visual observance of metal-ion indicators, spectroscopic techniques, and potentiometric methods, can determine the endpoint of an EDTA titration.
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...

01:23EDTA: Indirect and Alkalimetric Titration
1.6K
Unlike direct titration, back-titration, and displacement titration, indirect titration is an EDTA titration method for quantifying anions. In the indirect titration method, anions are precipitated as their insoluble salts with excess metal ions. The filtrate containing the excess metal ions is directly titrated with standard EDTA until the endpoint is achieved. Another approach involves extracting the metal ion and back-titrating with standard EDTA to obtain the endpoint. In this way, the...

01:22EDTA: Chemistry and Properties
2.9K
Polydentate ligands are most widely used in complexometric titrations because they form more stable complexes with the metal ions than mono- or bidentate ligands due to the chelate effect. Examples of polydentate ligands are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), crown ethers, and cryptands. The most important feature of optimal polydentate ligands is the ability to form 1:1 complexes in a single-step process. Amino carboxylic acid derivatives are frequently used as complexing agents. EDTA is...

01:26EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents
1.1K
EDTA titrations are usually carried out in highly basic conditions, where the fully deprotonated form of EDTA, Y4−, actively complexes with the free metal ions in the solution. Several metal ions precipitate as hydrous oxide (hydroxides, oxides, or oxyhydroxides) under these conditions, lowering the concentration of free metal ions in the solution. For this reason, auxiliary complexing agents or ligands such as ammonia, tartrate, citrate, or triethanolamine are used in EDTA titrations to...

01:30EDTA: Direct, Back-, and Displacement Titration
4.8K
The EDTA titration types for metal ion analysis include direct titration, back-titration, and replacement titration.
Direct titration involves buffering the metal ion solution to the desired pH and directly titrating with standard EDTA until the endpoint. The optimum pH ensures a large conditional formation constant of metal−EDTA and visibility of the free indicator color in the solution. In addition, auxiliary complexing reagents are used to prevent the precipitation of metal hydroxides...

01:20Complexometric EDTA Titration Curves
1.9K
EDTA titration curves determine the free metal ion concentration. The titration curve represents the change in concentration of free metal ions (p function) as a function of the volume of EDTA added. This curve consists of three regions: before, at, and after equivalence points. Excess free metal ions are present before the equivalence point. Equal concentrations of metal ions and EDTA are present at the equivalence point. After the equivalence point, excess EDTA exists. This means slight...
