Abstract :
The use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) is increasing worldwide and Iran is no exception. One reason for this increasing trend in Iran is an increase in health awareness, which could be a consequence of an increase in the gross domestic product. Moreover, a large number of patients including older and sicker ones, who were previously considered unsuitable for receiving treatment, were referred for RRT in more recent years.
