Abstract

Latin America (LA) is a geographic and cultural concept of a group of territories and countries placed in the Americas where Romance languages are spoken. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) constitute a major challenge for LA due to the high disease burden on the population and the public health systems. The Latin American Dialysis and Transplantation Registry has been providing consistent data about the prevalence and incidence of RRT in the region since 1991, and has contributed to the development of epidemiology in nephrology.
