End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis are a vulnerable population with specific requirements and increased adverse clinical outcomes as compared to the general population. Initiatives such as the DOPPS initiative have created prospective cohorts of these populations worldwide, and they recommend performing local cohorts based on their protocols to achieve local data, which may be comparable to international data. Currently, only a few prospective cohorts in Latin America collect individual patient data and patient samples, where there is little participation in the DOPPS initiative for ESRD patients.
