Summary

Based on the Medicare data, the 5-year survival of dialysis patients is only 39%. This is lower than that of stage IIIB breast cancer (54% 5-year survival). The annual mortality of dialysis patients is \~ 23% compared to \<0.1% in the United States general population. Even kidney transplant recipients have a substantially higher mortality (\~7%) compared to the general population. Consequently, the life-expectancy of dialysis and transplant populations is much lower than that of the general population. Cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death in dialysis patients and malnutrition is also a strong risk factor for death. The current proposal is to develop a prospective registry of incident dialysis patients at the University of Utah dialysis program to examine cardiovascular and nutritional factors in dialysis patients. This registry will include clinical and administrative data. In addition, blood samples will be stored for future analyses.
