Abstract

The International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) was established to aid understanding of the status and capacity of countries to provide optimal kidney care worldwide. This report presents the current characteristics of kidney care in the ISN Newly Independent States (NIS) and Russia region. Although the median prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was higher (11.4%) than the global median (9.5%), the median CKD-related death rate (1.4%) and prevalence of treated kidney failure (KF) in the region (411 per million population [pmp]) were lower than they are globally (2.5% and 822.8 pmp, respectively). Capacity to provide an adequate frequency of hemodialysis (HD) and kidney transplantation services is present in all the countries (100%). In spite of significant economic advancement, the region has critical shortages of nephrologists, dietitians, transplant coordinators, social workers, palliative care physicians, and kidney supportive care nurses. Home HD remains unavailable in any country in the region. Although national registries for dialysis and kidney transplantation are available in most of the countries across the ISN NIS and Russia region, few registries exist for nondialysis CKD and acute kidney injury. Although a national strategy for improving care for CKD patients is presented in more than half of the countries, no country in the region had a CKD-specific policy. Strategies that incorporate workforce training, planning, and development for all KF caregivers could help ensure sustainable kidney care delivery in the ISN NIS and Russia region.
