Fewer new cases of end-stage renal disease are being reported in the United States and mortality rates are declining, indicating that patients on dialysis or with a kidney transplant are living longer.
The trends were revealed by the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) coordinating center, based at the University of Michigan in partnership with Arbor Research Collaborative for Health, in its 2014 annual data report on the state of kidney disease in the United States.
Chronic kidney disease -- a state of kidney damage or reduced kidney function, and in its extreme, end-stage renal disease -- a condition in which the kidneys stop working and cannot remove fluid or waste from the body -- are growing public health issues.
