Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed kidney transplantation (KT) trends across 40 European countries from 2010 to 2018, focusing on total, deceased donor (DD), and living donor (LD) rates using data from the ERA Registry and GODT databases.
- - Overall, the total KT rate rose by 1.9% annually, with increases in both DD-KT (3.4 p.m.p.) and LD-KT (1.5 p.m.p.), but significant variations were noted among different countries, particularly between East and West Europe.
- - By 2018, Spain reported the highest DD-KT rate at 64.6 p.m.p., while Turkey had the highest LD-KT rate at
Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often experience neurocognitive disorders, which can impact their ability to follow treatment plans and manage their condition effectively.
- Understanding cognitive impairment (CI) in CKD can help identify reversible causes, improve medication management, and provide better support for patients and caregivers.
- The review highlights warning signs for cognitive screening, factors affecting cognitive assessments in CKD, and specific testing methods for patients undergoing dialysis or after kidney transplantation.
Background: The European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Registry collects data on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) via national and regional renal registries in Europe and countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. This article summarizes the 2018 ERA-EDTA Registry Annual Report, and describes the epidemiology of KRT for kidney failure in 34 countries.
Methods: Individual patient data on patients undergoing KRT in 2018 were provided by 34 national or regional renal registries and aggregated data by 17 registries.
The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of dialysis and kidney transplantation and to estimate the regularity of comprehensive conservative management (CCM) for patients with kidney failure in Europe. This study uses data from the ERA-EDTA Registry. Additionally, our study included supplemental data from Armenia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Slovenia and additional data from Israel, Italy, Slovakia using other information sources.
