UK Patient Survival Rates by Kidney Replacement Therapy, 1999-2021

10,308 primary glomerulonephritis and 8,302 adult polycystic kidney disease patient records from the UK Renal Registry, spanning 1999 to 2021. Stephen A Roberts authored this analysis of kidney replacement therapy incidence and survival outcomes, with data last updated in April 2026. The dataset reveals a 10-year survival rate of 81.8% after transplantation for pGN patients, compared to 37.9% on haemodialysis.

Use Cases

• Compare survival outcomes based on treatment modality (transplantation, PD, haemodialysis) mentioned in the results.
• Analyze incidence trends of kidney replacement therapy due to primary glomerulonephritis over time.
• Model patient survival probabilities adjusted for demographic variables like age, sex, and deprivation.
• Benchmark outcomes for primary glomerulonephritis subtypes against a reference disease like ADPKD.

Strengths

• Includes 10,308 primary glomerulonephritis and 8,302 ADPKD patient records.
• Covers a long temporal range from 1999 to 2021 with follow-up data.
• Provides specific survival rates, such as 81.8% 10-year survival after transplantation for pGN.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to patients requiring kidney replacement therapy, excluding those managed conservatively.
