This NIDDK fact sheet briefly cites available prevalence and incidence data and includes references.
U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS)
The USRDS is a national project that collects, analyzes, and disseminates information on 93% of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population in the United States. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases primarily funds the project, with support from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and its ESRD Networks. Researchers from around the world use the database as the foundation for epidemiological and clinical studies to improve the lives of renal patients.
