Here are some key statistics on dialysis patients in China:
- Recent estimates suggest there are over 500,000 patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis in China as of 2020. However, the total number is difficult to quantify exactly.
- China has seen rapid growth in its dialysis population due to rising rates of major ESKD risk factors like diabetes and hypertension. One estimate projects the dialysis population could reach 800,000 by 2030.
- It is estimated that less than 15% of patients with ESKD in China are able to access dialysis treatment. This indicates there is likely substantial unmet need that is not reflected in current prevalence numbers.
- China has an overall lower rate of dialysis treatment compared to developed countries, but rates vary greatly across provinces and urban vs rural areas. Beijing has one of the highest dialysis treatment rates in China at nearly 700 pmp.
- Hemodialysis is the most common modality, accounting for around 93% of dialysis in China based on recent analysis. Peritoneal dialysis remains less accessible.
