Introduction and Aim: In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of patients with renal pathology in most of the cases without severe symptoms and with significant changes in kidney function, when there is a need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). The objective is to analyze the need and availability of renal replacement therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Materials and Methods: Statistical data from the State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and Republican Clinical Urological Hospital named after Academician M.J. Javad-Zadeh were used. The dialysis centers and the average load per center in Azerbaijan for the period from 2014-2019 are analyzed.
Results: The provision of dialysis machines in Azerbaijan is 7.1%, in economic regions it is on average 7.7%. The highest provision is in the Nakhichevan (10.9%), Ganja-Gazakh (10.1%), and Apsheron (8.9%) economic regions. In the Republican Clinical Urological Hospital named after Academician M. Javad-zade, the need for hemodialysis centers exceeds by 31.6%.
Conclusion: With an increase in the number of dialysis machines, there is an increase in the average load per dialysis center. In the economic regions of the republic, the actual number of hemodialysis machines the need meets the standard (>50%).
