Core Tip
Core tip: In this nationwide population-based study, we demonstrated that incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is significantly higher in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared to age- and sex-matched controls without IBD. To the best of our knowledge, this population-based study was the first to determine the incidence and risks of ESRD in patients with IBD. The incidence of ESRD in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) was approximately 5 times higher compared to controls. Patients with CD are at a significant risk of developing ESRD regardless of age, sex, comorbidities. Our study provides new evidence for the association between ESRD and CD.
