In this note we look at the latest data for the incidence and prevalence of End Stage European Medical Technologies &

• Overall incidence of ESRD continues to fall. There continue to be concerns david.adlington@jpmorgan.com

on the lack of dialysis patient growth. Figure 1 sets out how incidence (new Anchal Verma

patients) continues to fall (and actually deteriorated through 2025). This is not (44-20) 3493-6144

a COVID issue any more. Incidence growth for the latest quarter we have data anchal.verma@jpmorgan.com

(Q4 25) was -2.6%, the worst quarter since Q2 22. Q2 2026 should benefit from Philip S Omnou

a weak respiratory season, although anecdotally we have heard this is not the (44-20) 3493-5648

case. philip.omnou@jpmorgan.com

as a cause of ESRD (Fig 2). In 2020, 47% of patients moving into ESRD were Marjan Daeipour - Specialist Sales -

due to T2D. That has now fallen to 39%, with no signs of any plateau.
