Of the more than 195,000 ESRD patients receiving renal replacement therapy during 1990, 70 percent were being treated with either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. (references)

A little over a decade elapsed before Congress legislative the provision of Medicare coverage, regardless of the patient's age, for the treatment of ESRD. These as well as subsequent events have made it possible for hundreds of thousands of patients with ESRD to receive life-sustaining renal replacement therapy. (references)

Although kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for many patients with ESRD, the increase in waiting time for cadaveric organs, the presence of disqualifying co-morbid conditions, and the low transplantation rates in an aging ESRD population will likely ensure that dialysis remains the primary method of renal replacement therapy in the foreseeable future.
