KRT, kidney replacement therapy; pmarp, per million age-related population
*Not included in the total prevalence
1Data are based on transplantation patients only; therefore, the numbers are an underestimation of the true prevalence in Germany. The coverage ranged from 12 out of 20 centers in 2010 to 18 out of 20 centers in 2016. Each year around 120 patients under the age of 21 years are transplanted, of which 16% pre-emptively
2Dialysis patients only. In 2015, data from one dialysis center was not included, and the prevalence of dialysis patients is an underestimation of the true incidence
3(Pre-emptive) transplantation patients are not included; the prevalence is an underestimation of the true prevalence
4In 2013 and 2014, not all patients provided informed consent resulting in an underestimation of the true prevalence
5For 2010, data are based on patients aged 0–15 years. The prevalence is an underestimation of the true prevalence
