Worldwide, an estimated 1.9 million patients suffer from chronic kidney failure.
Prevalence of renal failure is high in economically developed countries such as
Japan, US and Europe. Developing countries present a contrasting scenario since
leading causes of ESRD are not as widespread as in well-developed countries.
While hypertension and diabetes are considered common in more than 73% of the
ESRD patients, cardiovascular disease is the prime cause of death in around 61%
patients. In mature markets such as Western Europe and the US, changes in
reimbursement systems and restricted healthcare budgets are driving competition
and price erosion.
