Kidney replacement therapy as a key performance indicator for population health. A call to action by REDYT, ALCER, EKPF, S.E.N. and RICORS2040-renal.

Key takeaways

This is a call to action, not a study, so there are no results yet. Spanish kidney groups warn that the number of people needing dialysis or a transplant is rising faster than expected. As the baby boomer generation ages, more will reach kidney failure. The authors ask for better planning and clearer rules on when to start dialysis, especially for the very old.
