In 1995 the incidence new patients starting renal replacement therapy (RRT) was 120 per million (pmp). overall death 67 pmp number alive on treatment 644 pmp. During this year, pool expanded by 8.2%. These figures concealed large differences between countries. For example, varied from 69 to 163 pmp, stock RRT 444 773 expansion rate form 2.3% 13%. On basis these figures, it is likely that will continue increase steadily, but at slowly diminishing rate, reach figure 1000 2001 or 2002.
