Unlabelled: This study screened for Fabry disease (FD) in patients in hemodialysis (HD) in the region of Madrid (CAM) with a cross-sectional design to evaluate HD-prevalent patients, followed by a three-year period prospective design to analyze HD-incident patients.
Inclusion Criteria: patients older than 18 years on HD in the CAM, excluding patients diagnosed with any other hereditary disease with renal involvement different from FD, that sign the Informed Consent (IC).
Exclusion Criteria: underaged patients or not agreeing or not being capable of signing the IC.
Introduction And Objectives: The choice of renal replacement therapy (RRT) is an important decision that determines the quality of life and survival. Most patients change from one RRT modality to another to adapt RRT to clinical and psychosocial needs. This has been called «integrated model of RRT» that implies new questions about the best sequence of techniques.

Methods: We compared the real prevalence of DKD in T2DM patients according to actual serum and urine laboratory data with the presence of the diagnostic terms DKD and/or CKD on the electronic medical records (EMRs) using a natural language processing tool (SAVANA Manager). All patients ˃18 years of age and diagnosed with T2DM were selected.

- Chronic kidney disease poses significant hospitalization risks and economic burdens, with limited data on how renal replacement therapy (RRT) affects these admissions.
- A study analyzed data from 767 patients starting RRT, finding over one-third began dialysis during hospitalization, with almost 60% experiencing admissions in their first year—averaging 1.2 admissions per patient and a mean hospital stay of 8.6 days.
- The financial impact of RRT-related hospitalizations is substantial, with an estimated cost of €12,006 per patient in the first year, highlighting the need for better integration of clinical data to accurately assess resource use in healthcare systems.
