Beginning in 1966, the Patient Registration Committee of the Japanese
Society for Dialysis Therapy has conducted a survey once a year on renal
replacement therapy in Japan. As of 1983, the survey covered the life/death
of patients in the survey years, as well as the case mix of individual
patients. In 1990 several laboratory variables were added to the survey
items. The present report summarizes the data from the 1993 and 1994
surveys. The Committee mailed out questionnaire forms at the end of the
survey year to the heads of all dialysis facilities. Survey forms were
returned from 99.6% of the dialysis facilities in the 1983 survey, and from
99.8% of the facilities in the 1994 survey. Some 143 709 patients were
treated by renal replacement therapy in 1994 (7509 were treated by CAPD,
and 131 016 by extracorporeal haemopurification). The gross mortality rate
was 9.5% in the same year. The mean values of the laboratory variables
among 88 693 patients undergoing thrice weekly haemodialysis were as
follows in 1993: Kt/V,1.31 ± 0.30; protein
catabolic rate, 1.04 ± 0.30 g/kg/day; haemodialysis time, 4.12
± 0.50 h. In 1994, the variables were: predialysis serum
creatinine concentrations, 11.54 ± 2.85 mg/dl; predialysis serum
albumin concentration, 3.91 ± 0.55 g/dl; predialysis
haematocrit, 28.69 ± 4.36%. Keywords:
haemodialysis; mortality; renal failure
