Summary
Patient-level data for adults and children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or adults with an acute kidney injury (AKI) on dialysis who are under the care of NHS hospital renal centres in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Documentation
The dataset contains patient-level data for adults under the care of NHS hospital renal centres in the UK who have chronic kidney disease (CKD - mostly stages 4 and 5), as well as adults and children on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and adults with an acute kidney injury (AKI) on dialysis at a renal centre. The data are collected daily, quarterly or annually and include patient identifiable information, socio-demographic and clinical data. Since 2007 the UKRR has had 100% coverage of all people under the care of renal centres in the UK on KRT and each year collects data on about 70,000 people on KRT. Coverage of people with CKD under the care of renal centres (excluding those on KRT) is lower – data collection commenced in 2016 and has increased from almost 17,000 adults with CKD stages 4 and 5 at the end of 2016, to more than 34,000 adults at the end of 2019. These numbers will continue to rise as more renal centres submit data – in 2019 the UKRR received data from only 17 of the UK’s 70 adult renal centres. In total, this dataset holds information on about 240,000 people on KRT or with advanced CKD.

Patient pathway description
The dataset includes all adults and children in the UK who are on kidney replacement therapy (KRT - kidney transplant or dialysis). The UK Renal Registry (UKRR) only collects data on adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are under the care of hospital renal centres in the UK, i.e. the UKRR does not collect data on those with CKD in primary care. Those with CKD who are not on KRT generally only come under the care of renal centres once they have reached advanced CKD, i.e. stages 4 and 5. The UKRR collects data on all adults with an acute kidney injury (AKI) who receive dialysis at a hospital renal centre. The UKRR does not collect data on patients who receive dialysis in other settings for an AKI, e.g. in critical or intensive care.

Access request cost
Charges may apply for new aggregate data and extracts of pseudonymous patient level data. The charges are to recover the costs of managing the application process and preparing extracts of data. The costs depend on the level of service required from the UKRR and whether this is limited to a simple extract of data, or requires additional input such as methodological or statistical support. The UKRR can advise on costs once the expression of interest is received and applicants may also be requested to complete a costing form.
Access method category
Direct access
Access service description
Data are released to researchers who have successfully gone through the UKRR's data application process. Prior to any data sharing with successful applicants, a fixed term data sharing agreement (DSA) is drawn up between the Renal Association and the recipient. This specifies the scope of the analyses permitted, the data items to be shared, the frequency of the data sharing, the names of the researchers and the time limit beyond which data must be destroyed.
