INTRODUCTION

15 Years in Turkish Nephrology Registry

Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation studies which are started in 1989 including solely , are being performed in country wide since 1990 and published by Turkish Society of Nephrology, annually (except 1994). On the following two pages, you might see the names of the books and people who have worked throughout the publishing process. Till 1993 a lot of friends of us have taken place in Central Registry Committee. I am grateful to them. For efforts they spent in communicating with foreign and domestic nephrology centers and for supports in evaluating and commenting the collected data, I especially thankful to Kamil Serdengeçti, President of Turkish Society of Nephrology and to Gültekin Süleymanlar, General Secretary, who are the indispensable and permanent names of our society. Mehmet Rıza Altıparmak and Nurhan Seyahi, two young assistant members of Central Registry Committee have spent too much effort. Many thanks to them and to Lale Sever who has given her best support in evaluation of pediatric nephrology results. Registry studies which were performed with an amateur spirit till three years ago, are being executed by a professional company since 2002, under control, support and audition of our Central Registry Committee. You might see the graphics showing the now and then of the Turkish Registry for a period of 15 years. In recent years, Turkish Nephrology Registry has started to take place in two big registries as a result of contribution established with ERA-EDTA and USRDS. For the support they gave to Turkish Nephrology Registry, we are grateful to Kitty Jager, Director of the ERA- EDTA Nephrology Center and to Allan J. Collins, Director of the USRDS Coordinating Center. You might also find the figures of this two big registries and comparative graphics by USRDS, including Turkish results. Turkish Registry of 2004 is completed again with the extreme supports of the responsible persons of nephrology, dialysis and transplantation centers. We stated the names of both them and the centers at the back pages of this book. By this means we voice our gratitudes to them. We are also grateful to managers and the staff of Omega Contract Research Organization who have collected the data under the control and support of our Central Registry Committee and prepared the analysis report, and to Fresenius Medical Care, the company that has yet once more sponsored the printing of this book.

Discussion

 Evaluation is performed based on the results provided by 395 hemodialysis (HD) centers. The number of the centers contributed (n: 388), the number of HD equipments (n: 5964), and the number of HD patients (n: 25321) are increased by 13.0% compared to last year. The proportion of patients who are 15 years old or younger is 0.3%. With a percentage of 79.0%, HD is the most commonly used RRT method in Turkey. The total number of physicians and nurses are 1138 and 2829, respectively. There are some differences in numbers as compared to the numbers from Ministry of Health. There are several reasons of this: unlike the report of Ministry of Health, this report does not include; o the incident HD patients of 2005, o the numbers of died HD patients, o the potential HD patients of the centers newly established their HD equipments.

20 Registry of the Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation in Turkey, 2004  The proportion of diabetic patients among the HD patients is increased from 19.2% to %23.0 and this fact shows that diabetes mellitus, as a cause of ESRD, has an increasing rate in Turkey as well.  The age range of HD patients: 49.8% of all patients and 52.4% of diabetic patients are in the age range of 45 and 64.  Frequency of HD sessions: three times weekly for 84.8%, twice weekly for 13.6%, and once weekly for 1.6%. There is an increase in the frequency of 3 sessions/week compared to last year.  A total of 3.235.000 dialysers are used in 385 centers in the year 2004. Decrease in cuprophane usage (1.3%) continues while there is a significant increase in synthetic membrane usage. Synthetic membranes are the most commonly prescribed membranes (54%) in the year 2004. High-flux membrane usage is 8.9%.  There is an increase in urea kinetics model usage in the evaluation of dialysis sufficiency; it is used by 62.2% of the centers. Urea Reduction Rate is lower than 0.65 in 68.1% of chronic HD patients. Kt/V is higher than 1.2 in 63.7% of the patients.  AV fistula is the vascular access route in 90.1% of HD patients and is opened on left arm with a proportion of over 70%. In 57.1% of the patients, dialysis is continued with the initial AV fistula. In 42.5% of the HD patients, low molecular weight heparine is used for anticoagulation.  The frequency of hypertension in HD patients is found as 40.7%.  Serum albumin level which is one of the reliable indicators of nutrition is lower than 3.5 g/dL in 12.9% of the HD patients. Results are better as compared to last year. The proportion of the patients whose serum albumin level is higher than 4.0 g/dL is 33.6%.  The frequency of EPO usage in HD patients is 62.8% and there is a decrease when compared to last year. Target HB level (>11 g/dL) is reached in only 58.3% of the patients receiving EPO. EPO resistance is found in 7.7% of HD patients. This figure shows decrease as compared to last year (10.6%). Iron treatment is administered in 58.9% of HD patients (oral: 5.0%, parenteral: 53.9%). Routine serum ferritin tests are performed in 79.5% of the centers.  Routine biochemical tests (97.5%), bone X-rays (74.7%), and parathyroid scintigraphy (70.2%) are the most commonly used tests for renal bone disease in HD patients. The proportions of patients with iPTH level <100 pg/mL and >1000 pg/mL are 26.7% and 6.1%, respectively. Calcium acetate (66.7%), calcium carbonate (13.3%), and sevelamer (2.0%) are used as phosphorus binding agents in HD patients. There is a decrease in the rates of oral (14.3%) and IV (27%) active vitamin D usage compared to last year. Parathyroidectomy is performed in 226 patients. Venous bicarbonate level test is practiced in only 6.6% of the centers, for acidose follow up.  There found no change in the frequency of HBV infection in HD patients compared to last year. The frequency of anti-HCV (+) patients continues to decrease (from 24.6% to 19.3%).  Dialysis duration is longer than 6 years in more than 30% of HD patients. 31.0% of the HD patients died within the first 3 months, which is same as last year. With a rate of 46.7%, cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in HD patients. Cerebrovascular accident, malignancy and infection come after it, respectively.  HD is the most commonly used RRT method in ESRD patients in Turkey (79%). While the number of patients keeps increasing, improvements in HD conditions and efforts to provide a more qualified dialysis are being carried on.

Discussion

 The proportion of regular HD patients is increased by 15-20% in the last 15 years.  The increase in the weekly HD sessions is more significant for 3 sessions/week.  Hygienic conditions have provided the significant decrease in the percentage of HBsAg (+) regular HD patients through years. The decrease in the proportion of anti-HCV (+) patients can be prevented by hygienic conditions, too.  Acetate usage as a dialysate has almost left its place to bicarbonate.  In Turkey, the most commonly preferred vascular access route is native AV fistula. Unlike USA the proportion of graft is too small.  The percentage of EPO usage has showed no significant change through years, while there is an decrease in vitamin D usage, which is a result of . This decrease is a result of strict follow-up of patients.  Hypolbuminemia is decreased to 12.9% in 2004. This result is very satisfactory as a matter of nutrition.  Decrease in iron treatment is observed through 15 years.  Through 15 years there observed no significant change in the percentage of deaths due to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular accident or infection.  There is a slight increase in the proportion of deaths due to malignancy.  Preventing the factors causing resistance, the frequency of EPO resistance is decreased.

 Evaluation is performed based on the results provided by 25 centers. The number of the RTx patients on follow up is found as 3395 as of the end of 2004.  The annual number of RTx is increased by 21.7% (n: 665). The rate of cadaver donation is 27.8%. The rate of RTx patients younger than 15 years old is 4.1%.  Living donations were 85.6% from relatives, 12.9% from spouse and 1.5% from non-relatives.  The frequency of diabetic nephropathy is 3.6% in RTx patients in 2004 and diabetes mellitus is found as comorbidity in 0.8%. Only 12% of the 25 centers performed pancreas Tx in 2004. Synchronous kidney and pancreas Tx is performed in 22 patients. The number of the Tx patients in whom kidney is transplanted first is 10.  The number of the centers performing laparoscopic nephrectomy in living donors is 2 (8%).  Antibody treatment is preferred for induction therapy in 58.3% (n: 388) of the RTx patients, in 2004. In 42.5% of them basiliximab, in 35.3% ATG (horse), in 18.8% daclizumab, and in 3.4% thymoglobulin (rabbit) is administered.  Increase in the prescribing of the new immunosuppresive agents (mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, IL-2r monoclonal antibodies) will lead to more selective, efficient and safe treatment protocols.  Hypertension is observed in 71.8% of the patients as of the end of 2004. Blood pressure is out of control in 9.5% of treated patients.  The proportions of HBsAg (+) and Anti-HCV (+) patients are 1.4% and 7.5%, respectively, as of the end of 2004. 29.2% of the centers are performing RTx to HBsAg (+) patients, while 66.7% performs RTx to anti-HCV (+) patients. These figures are decreased compared to last year.  Due to the mortality analysis of the year 2004, infections are the most common cause of death (51.1%) and significantly increased compared to last year (34.8%). The most commonly observed infection is sepsis. Cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular accident and malignancy come after infections, respectively.  Chronic rejection (48.9%) and death (38.4%) are the most common causes of graft loss in 2004; there found a significant change compared to last year.  Serum creatinin level is <2 mg/dL in 80.3% of the RTx patients while it is >2 mg/dL in 12.6% of them, in 2004. The proportion of RTx patients who returned to HD is 3.8%, and 19 patients (3.3%) died.

Discussion

 The number of RTx patients has increased starting from 1995, it is still too low compared to Europe.  We believe that this number will increase with the help of the efforts being spent by Ministry of Health in establishing a better organized Tx system.  Through 15 years, there is no significant decrease in the proportion of HBsAg (+) patients while a significant decrease in the frequency of anti-HCV (+) patients is observed.  Starting from 2000, there observed an increase in the percentage of the deaths due to cardiovascular diseases.
