Abstract

Although the management of scleroderma continues to evolve, it is unknown whether the burden of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) treated with maintenance renal replacement therapy from SD has changed. Methods: We examined United States Renal Data System data (n = 1,677,303) for the years 1996 to 2012 to quantify the incidence and outcomes of ESKD from scleroderma treated with renal replacement therapy (n = 2398). Outcomes assessed through demography-matched scleroderma-positive/scleroderma-negative comparisons included recovery of kidney function, mortality, listing for transplant, renal transplantations, and graft failure. Results: Overall ESKD rates from scleroderma were 0.5 per million per year. Adjusted incidence ratios fell over time, to 0.42 in 2012 (vs. 1996, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.32−0.54, P
