Around 10% of the global population is affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD) and over 2 million people suffer from end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which has to be treated by dialysis or kidney transplant. Health care spending on kidney in general and specifically on ESRD is on a rise. In 2014, overall Medicare spending on the treatment of ESRD was over US$ 32 Bn, while the National Health Service (NHS) spends around 3% of its budget on kidney failure services. The burden of kidney diseases is rising in developing countries as well, with nearly half a million patients in China undergoing dialysis (Source: National Kidney Foundation, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, NHS).
