El Registro Latinoamericano de Diálisis y Trasplante Renal: la importancia del desarrollo de los registros nacionales en Latinoamérica

DTR constitute a useful tool for epidemiological research, health care planning and the improvement of the quality of care. The heterogeneity or even absence of registries in some LA countries is congruent with the inequities in access of ESRD patients to RRT in such countries as well as the availability of qualified personnel. The Pan American Health Organization and SLANH convened the Committee of the LADRTR in 2014, to dictate courses of training and certification for the creation and development of the DTR in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.
