Abstract

End-stage renal disease is a very relevant problem in public health and there is evidence of increasing occurrence and prevalence of this condition [1]. Data vary a lot, with numbers between 2.5 cases per million of the population of a compatible age (pmpca) in Nigeria, up to 1,403 cases pmpca in the United States [1]. An expressive percentage of these patients require maintenance dialysis treatment or organ transplant [1].
