Of the patients with chronic renal replacement therapy in Germany, only 27% are living with a functioning graft, while the other 73% are dialysis patients. At the end of 1990, there were about 30,000 patients on regular dialysis treatment in Germany. Without selection for chronic dialysis, the average age of newly accepted patients is 61 years. More than 30% of the new dialysis patients are diabetics. Intermittent haemodialysis (89.5%), intermittent haemofiltration (4.5%), and peritoneal dialysis (6%) are the different methods of chronic dialysis treatment in Germany. The 5-year-survival rate with regular haemodialysis treatment is 67%, for 50 years old patients without diabetic nephropathy (EDTA, Europe).
在德国接受慢性肾脏替代治疗的患者中，只有27%的人拥有功能正常的移植肾，而另外73%是透析患者。1990年底，德国约有30000名患者接受定期透析治疗。在未经过慢性透析筛选的情况下，新接受治疗患者的平均年龄为61岁。超过30%的新透析患者是糖尿病患者。间歇性血液透析（89.5%）、间歇性血液滤过（4.5%）和腹膜透析（6%）是德国慢性透析治疗的不同方式。对于50岁无糖尿病肾病的患者，定期血液透析治疗的5年生存率为67%（欧洲透析移植协会数据）。
