    Abstract: According to the annual survey of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Renal Data Registry (JRDR) conducted at the end of 2018, there were a total of 339,841 patients receiving dialysis (hereinafter, dialysis patients) in Japan. The survey included questions regarding the presence/absence of dementia, the performance status (PS), and the exercise habits of individual patients. The survey revealed that 10.8% of all dialysis patients had dementia (1.8% in the age group of less than 65 years, 6.8% in the age group of 65–74 years, and 22.7% in the age group of 75 years or older). These prevalences of dementia were approximately equal to those estimated from the survey conducted in 2010. Regarding PS, the percentage of patients with lower activity levels tended to be relatively high among patients who were less than 15 years old and those who were 60 years old or older. Concerning the exercise habits of dialysis patients, the percentage of patients who were classified as “not at all or hardly” in response to the question about exercise habit was the highest (60–80%) of all the exercise habit classifications in each of the age groups analyzed.

    Abstract: The annual survey of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Renal Data Registry (JRDR) was conducted for 4413 dialysis facilities at the end of 2017; among which 4360 facilities (98.8%) responded to the facility questionnaire, and 4188 (94.9%) responded to the patient questionnaire. The response rate of the 2017 survey was comparable with the past, even though it was the third year after the new anonymization method. The number of chronic dialysis patients in Japan continues to increase every year; it has reached 334,505 at the end of 2017. The mean age was 68.43 years. The prevalence rate was 2640 patients per million population. Diabetic nephropathy was the most common primary disease among the prevalent dialysis patients (39.0%), followed by chronic glomerulonephritis (27.8%) and nephrosclerosis (10.3%). The rate of diabetic nephropathy and nephrosclerosis has been increasing year by year, whereas that of chronic glomerulonephritis was declining. The number of incident dialysis patients during 2017 was 40,959; it has remained stable since 2008. The average age was 69.68 years and diabetic nephropathy (42.5%) was the most common cause in the incident dialysis patients. These patients caused by diabetes did not change in number for recent several years. Further, 32,532 patients died in 2017; the crude mortality rate was 9.8%. The patients treated by hemodiafiltration (HDF) have been increasing rapidly from the revision of medical reimbursement for HDF therapy in 2012. It has attained 95,140 patients at the end of 2017, which were 18,304 greater than that in 2016. The number of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients was 9090 in 2017, which had been slightly decreasing since 2014. Further, 19.4% of PD patients treated in the combination of hemodialysis (HD) or HDF therapy (hybrid therapy). And 984 patients were treated by home HD therapy at the end of 2017; it increased by 49 from 2016. Trial registration JRDR was approved by the ethical committee of JSDT (approval number 1-3) and has been registered in “University hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry” as a clinical trial ID of UMIN000018641 at 8th August 2015. https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-bin/ctr/ctr_view_reg.cgi?recptno=R000021578 (Accessed 31 July 2019).

    Abstract: According to the annual survey of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Renal Data Registry (JRDR) conducted at the end of 2018, a total of 339,841 patients were receiving dialysis (hereinafter, dialysis patients) in Japan. This survey included an investigation of individual test results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody (HCV-Ab), HCV-RNA, and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (glutamic pyruvic transaminase [GPT]). The survey revealed that among dialysis patients in Japan, the prevalence of HBsAg positivity was 1.38% and the prevalence of HCV-Ab positivity was 4.7% at the end of 2018, both of which were markedly lower than the corresponding rates documented in 2007 (9.8% and 4.7%, respectively). The proportion of HCV-RNA-positive patients among all HCV-Ab-positive patients was 37.5%, which was also markedly lower than the percentage recorded in 2007 (64.0%). The prevalence of HBsAg positivity tended to increase as the dialysis vintage increased. The prevalence of HCV-Ab positivity was also not correlated with the dialysis vintage during the first 30 years of dialysis; however, it tended to increase as the dialysis vintage increased beyond the 30th year. Trial registration University hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry, UMIN000018641 . The JRDR was approved by the ethics committee of the JSDT (approval number 1-3) and was registered on August 8, 2015 (accessed June 2, 2020).
