Abstract

The Beijing Hemodialysis Quality Control and Improvement Center started patient data collection from 2007. We report here the trends in incidence, prevalence, and mortality of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). The incidence increased from 94 per million population in 2007 to 147.3 per million population in 2010. The leading cause of ESRD changed from chronic glomerulonephritis (32.1%) to diabetes (40.1%). The point prevalence of MHD at the end of 2006 was 269 per million population, and gradually increased to 509 per million population in the end of 2010. The leading cause of ESRD in 2010 prevalent patients was chronic nephritis (33.9%), followed by diabetes (29.5%). The annual mortality varied from 7.4 to 9.0%. Old or diabetic patients suffered a higher mortality. The 2010 prevalent MHD patients achieved KDOQI hemoglobin, calcium, phosphate, and intact parathyroid hormone guidelines, which was comparable to other DOPPS (Dialysis Outcome and Practice Pattern Study) countries; Beijing MHD patients had a relatively higher albumin level.
