Prevalance of End-stage renal disease:

392,023 people in the USA 2001 (United States Renal Data System 2003 Annual Data Report, 2003)

Prevalance Rate for End-stage renal disease:

approx 1 in 693 or 0.14% or 392,022 people in USA [about data]

Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of End-stage renal disease to Countries and Regions:

WARNING! EXTRAPOLATION ONLY! NOT BASED ON COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DATA SOURCES. The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for End-stage renal disease to the populations of various countries and regions. These prevalence extrapolations for End-stage renal disease are only estimates, based on applying the prevalence rates from the US (or a similar country) to the population of other countries, and therefore may have very limited relevance to the actual prevalence of End-stage renal disease in any region:

Incidence (annual) of End-stage renal disease:

89,252 new cases (NIDDK)

Incidence Rate for End-stage renal disease: approx 1 in 3,047 or 0.03% or 89,252 people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for End-stage renal disease to Countries and Regions: WARNING! EXTRAPOLATION ONLY. NOT BASED ON COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DATA SOURCES. The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for End-stage renal disease to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for End-stage renal disease are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of End-stage renal disease in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for End-stage renal disease:

WARNING! EXTRAPOLATED STATISTICS ONLY! Not based on data sources from individual countries. These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates against the populations of a particular country or region. The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of End-stage renal disease are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian prevalence or incidence statistics, which are then extrapolated using only the population of the other country. This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated End-stage renal disease statistics below refer to. The extrapolation does not use data sources or statistics about any country other than its population. As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication) as to the actual prevalence or incidence of End-stage renal disease in that region. These statistics are presented only in the hope that they may be interesting to some people.

About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for End-stage renal disease:

The word 'prevalence' of End-stage renal disease usually means the estimated population of people who are managing End-stage renal disease at any given time (i.e. people with End-stage renal disease). The term 'incidence' of End-stage renal disease means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of End-stage renal disease diagnosed each year (i.e. getting End-stage renal disease). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
