  • The existence of several different definitions of acute renal failure makes it difficult to determine the true epidemiological characteristics of this condition. Nonetheless, there have been notable variations in its epidemiology during the past few decades. Norbert Lameire and colleagues present an overview of these changes and their causative factors, including geography, patient setting and ageing populations.

  • The selection of a specific dialysis modality can have important consequences in terms of survival and quality of life. In this Review, Lameire and Van Biesen compare the epidemiology of peritoneal dialysis with that of hemodialysis and describe some of the major differences that exist in the global utilization of these two dialysis modalities. The authors describe a number of medical and nonmedical factors, including economic, educational and psychological factors that influence dialysis modality choice.

  • The treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with immense societal costs, with particularly high expenditure for renal replacement therapy. This Review addresses the economic aspects of CKD and ESRD with a focus on approaches to prevent the conditions that contribute to CKD and its progression.

  • In many countries, patient outcomes with peritoneal dialysis are comparable or superior to those with haemodialysis. Here, the authors discuss the changing epidemiology of peritoneal dialysis worldwide, including the remaining country-specific challenges that must be overcome to improve utilization of this cost-effective therapy.
