# Ukraine and Nephrology
• 7.7% of Ukraine's gross domestic product (GDP) is spend on health care
• The prevalence of patients requiring renal replacement therapy is 131 patients per million people
• Over 90% of the dialysis population is aged between 20 and 64 years
• Only 12% of patients who have end-stage kidney failure (ESKF) have diabetes as the cause; Most ESKF patients have glomerulonephritis as the underlying etiology
• Nearly all patients (98%) or hemodialysis patients have a fistula
• Of all patients who received a kidney transplant, 53% received one from al living donor

• Ukraine has one of the lowest number of Nephrology trainees in any of the newly independent states of the USSR ( 0.11 trainees per million people)
• The main cost of dialysis expenditures rests with consumables. The breakdown of consumable expenses in each category is: 66% from hemodialysis, 86% from ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, and 92% from automated peritoneal dialysis
