Overview

The incidence and prevalence of chronic renal failure varies enormously depending on the level of affluence of the country. Developed countries have a higher incident rate of treated end-stage renal failure, whereas the emerging countries have very low incident rates. There are currently about one million patients undergoing dialysis worldwide, with an incidence of 0.25 million patients each year.

Epidemiology of in United States

• The incidence of chronic renal failure in the US is 330 per million people.
• More than 10% of people aged 20 years or older have Chronic kidney disease (CKD).
• More than 35% of patients aged 20 years or older with Diabetes have CKD.
• More than 20% of patients aged 20 years or older with Hypertension have CKD.
• Men with CKD are 50% more likely than women to progress to Chronic renal failure.

Epidemiology in Developing countries

• The prevalence of CRF varies from being 100 per million in the populations of Sub-Saharan Africa and India, to 400 per million in Latin America and 600 per million in Saudi Arabia.
• The majority of experts agree that a CRF prevalence of 150 per million people is the average incidence in developing countries.

Age

• Incidence of chronic renal failure is greater among adults older than 65 years.

Impact of gender

• Although the prevalence of chronic renal failure in men and women does not differ significantly, it is relatively higher in females.

Ethinicity

• African Americans were 4 times more likely to develop CRF than whites in 2007. Hispanics have 1.5 times higher rates than non-Hispanic whites.
