Yes, here is a similar overview of dialysis patients in the United States:

- According to the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), there were approximately 526,383 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis in the United States in 2018.

- This number has been gradually increasing over the past couple decades, up from under 300,000 in 2000. However, the rate of growth has slowed more recently as incidence rates stabilize.

- The prevalence of ESRD treated by dialysis in 2018 was 1,528 patients per million population. This varies by state, from 974 pmp in Montana to 2,032 pmp in Washington D.C.

- Hemodialysis is much more common than peritoneal dialysis in the USA. In 2018 around 89% of U.S. dialysis patients received in-center hemodialysis.

- Major risk factors driving ESRD and need for dialysis include diabetes (about 44% of incident cases), hypertension (about 28%), and glomerulonephritis. The aging U.S. population also contributes to increasing dialysis demand.

Some key sources:

- USRDS 2020 Annual Report: https://adr.usrds.org/2020 - Provides the latest compiled statistics on ESRD and dialysis prevalence/incidence
