AB  - Caring  for  patients  with  end-stage  renal  disease  (ESRD)  and  its  myriad  complications  represents  a  major  challenge.  According  to  the  United  States  Renal  Data  System  (USRDS),  there  are  approximately  600,000  patients  with  ESRD  receiving  renal  replacement  therapy  (RRT)  as  of  2010.  In  the  United  States  and  globally,  it  is  estimated  that  there  are  an  estimated  2  million  people  currently  receiving  some  form  of  RRT.  Most  of  those  patients  can  be  found  in  industrialized  countries  with  well-developed  health  care  delivery  systems.  It  has  been  suggested  that  this  number  may  represent  only  10%  of  patients  globally  with  ESRD,  with  the  remaining  90%  of  ESRD  patients  lacking  access  to  maintenance  RRT.
