Improved Accessibility to the Renal Transplant List

Chronic End Stage Renal Failure

Nephrology, Kidney transplant, Registration, Transplant waiting list

In 2014, the States General of Kidney have allowed to assess the situation concerning the management of chronic kidney disease on the national territory. Ex-Languedoc-Roussillon has emerged as one of the French regions with a high dialysis / transplant ratio compared to other regions. Disparities in accessibility to the kidney transplant list were also very important. In the ex-Languedoc-Roussillon Region, the number of patients on the renal transplant list was lower than the national average (18.9 vs. 24.1%, respectively, according to the REIN 2015 report). In 2015, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) ex-Languedoc-Roussillon, has published proposals to improve the healthcare of the patient in chronic end stage renal failure, and accessibility to the national waiting list for renal transplantation (CRISTAL). To increase accessibility to the national waiting list for renal transplantation by improving the patient's healthcare, our project is based on the creation of a reinforced exchanges connexion between the hospital's nephrology services professionals, dialysis units and liberal nephrologists. This will include having regular meetings between dialysis nephrologists and CHU nephrologists. The proposals for this project were: 1. to organize multidisciplinary consultation meetings between transplant and dialysis professionals 2. to set up an exchange platform and communication tools built on the model of telemedicine (COVOTEM), common to the nephrology departments of the University Hospital Center, dialysis units. This new device for the management of chronic end stage renal failure should increase the number of patients on the national renal transplantation waiting list. It should also make it possible to reduce the time between: firstly, the sending of the pre-registration file to the transplantation at Montpellier University Hospital and registration, and secondly between dialysis and registration.on waiting list. The investigators hope that this experiment will increase the number of registrations on the National Kidney Transplantation Waitlist (CRISTAL). The implementation of this innovative tool should facilitate communication between nephrologists dialysis centers and nephrologists of CHU Montpellier, and accelerate the process of registration on the National Kidney Transplantation Waitlist. If this platform proves to be easy to use and if the project's evaluation criteria show significant results, the platform could then be used to monitor patients in post-transplantation. Indeed, the data of patients who perform an alternating follow-up would be available for the referring nephrologists and for the transplant center. The further development of the platform would allow to create a mode of communication via this platform.

Main Objective: Evolution of the number of patients, dialysed or not dialysed in the ex-Languedoc-Roussillon Region, acceding during the year, to a pre-transplant assessment for a registration on the national renal transplantation waiting list ( CRISTAL). Secondary Objectives: * Evolution of patient waiting times for registration on the national renal transplantation waiting list (CRISTAL) * For incident cases: Evolution of the time between dialysis, and the date of registration on the transplant waiting list or the date of decision of temporary or definitive contraindication by nephrologists CHU Montpellier . * Evolution of the delays between the date of reception of the pre-registration file by the nephrology department of the University Hospital and the closing date of the file (either a definitive inscription, a definitive contraindication or a temporary contraindication \> 4 months) * Evolution of the number of multidisciplinary consultation meetings performed without videoconferencing and videoconferencing between the dialysis center and Montpellier University Hospital * Evaluation of exchanges between professionals involved in the course of care of the patient in chronic end stage renal failure
