Abstract

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the REIN (French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network), a summary work on the contributions of the national French ESKD register was carried out. On the issue of Social Inequalities in Health, the following key messages were retained. Social inequalities in health exist throughout the journey of a patient with chronic kidney disease and manifest as territorial inequalities in access to home-based or independent dialysis treatment and to transplant, whether preemptive or otherwise. SIH are observed in adults as well as in the paediatric population. The female gender appears to be associated with a disparity in access to kidney transplant.

À l’occasion des 20 ans du REIN (Réseau Epidémiologie et Information en Néphrologie), un travail de synthèse sur les apports du registre a été mené. Sur la question des inégalités sociales de santé, les messages clés suivants ont été retenus. Les inégalités sociales de santé existent tout au long du parcours du patient atteint d’une maladie rénale chronique et se traduisent par des inégalités territoriales d’accès au traitement par dialyse au domicile ou autonome, à la greffe qu’elle soit préemptive ou non. Les ISS sont retrouvées chez l’adulte mais aussi dans la population pédiatrique. Le genre féminin semble associé à une disparité d’accès à la greffe rénale.
