Brazilian Dialysis Survey 2022

CONCLUSIONS: The absolute number and prevalence rate of patients on chronic dialysis continue to increase. A growing number of patients were receiving hemodiafiltration. The mortality rate decreased, probably due to the end of COVID-19 pandemic. The conclusions were drawn in the context of relatively low voluntary participation, which imposed methodological limitations on our estimates.PMID:38078834 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0062en
