Chronic glomerulonephritis was still the leading cause of ESRD in prevalent MHD patients. The annual mortality rate showed a declining trend and reached 6.4% in 2013.In Beijing, there is a declining incidence rate, increasing prevalence rate, and declining mortality for MHD patients.SCI(E)PubMed07 Suppl 117-208
