Abstract
The prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in children (<21 years of age) is 20-fold less than that in adults, with an incidence that varies from 4 to 14 per million age-related population (pmarp) globally, with the highest incidence rates in developed countries. In 2016, kidney replacement therapy was provided to children in 84 countries. The incidence rate of ESKD in those younger than 20 years of age among European countries was reported to be 8.3 pmarp, with a prevalence of 58 pmarp from 2009 to 2011. In the United States, the point prevalence of children aged 0–21 years with ESKD was 99.1 per million population (pmp) in 2016. The prevalence in the United States has remained stable, but the incidence rate has decreased by 21.1% from 17.5 pmp in 2004 to 13.8 pmp in 2016.
