The Singapore Renal Registry (SRR) started capturing patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD5) since 1999. In 2007, the Singapore General Hospital, which contributes about 50% of the new CKD5 cases each year, started to provide the SRR their list of patients with eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73m2. The SRR receives CKD5 case notifications from the public hospitals, dialysis centres, kidney transplant centres and private nephrology clinics.
