Supplemented ERA-EDTA Registry data evaluated the frequency of dialysis, kidney transplantation and comprehensive conservative management for patients with kidney failure in Europe.

EKHA’s recent study uses data from the ERA-EDTA Registry to estimate the rates of dialysis, kidney transplantation, and comprehensive conservative management (i.e. planned holistic care rather than kidney replacement therapy) for patients with kidney failure in Europe.

Hence, major discrepancies in nephrology persist across Europe, which must be addressed by improving the access to kidney treatment options for patients with kidney failure.
