The category HD also includes haemofiltration and haemodiafiltration. When cells are left empty, the data are unavailable.

HD: haemodialysis, PD: peritoneal dialysis, Tx: kidney transplant.

aPatients <20 years of age are not reported.

bThe overall prevalence of RRT is underestimated by ∼3% due to an estimated 30% underreporting of patients living with a functioning graft.
