Renal Data System (USRDS)

The United States Renal Data System (USRDS) is a comprehensive resource that collects and analyzes information about kidney disease and dialysis treatment in the U.S. It provides researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers with data on patient demographics, treatment outcomes, and disease trends. This helps improve care, guide research, and inform policies aimed at better managing kidney failure and improving patients’ quality of life. The USRDS serves as an essential national database for understanding the scope and impact of kidney disease across the country.
