United States Renal Data System

Progress Through Research

The United States Renal Data System (USRDS) is a national data system that collects, analyzes, and distributes information about chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. The USRDS is funded directly by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). USRDS staff collaborate with members of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), and the ESRD networks, sharing datasets and working to improve the accuracy of ESRD patient information.
