USRDS

The United States Renal Data System (USRDS) is a national data system that collects, analyzes, and distributes information about 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) in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), formerly HCFA). USRDS staff collaborates with members of CMS, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), and the ESRD Networks, sharing datasets and actively working to improve the accuracy of ESRD patient information.
