Improved Accessibility to the Renal Transplant 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 wi
