Scottish Renal Registry

Renal Units in Scotland- Adult Renal Services

A full range of renal services is available in all areas of Scotland. Most services are offered locally, some highly specialised services (eg transplantation) are organised from supra regional centres. Patients are routinely referred to other centres for these services and there is a QA programme to ensure that all patients have equitable access to all services.
Some renal units offer all their services at general renal clinics while others organise clinics with a specific purpose (eg a low clearance clinic). The table below shows how each renal unit organises its services. Transplantation is available to all suitable patients but the surgery is only performed in a few hospitals as noted.

 * Many intensive care units offer renal replacement therapy (RRT) for patients who also require ventilatory support. This table shows the availability of renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury (AKI) for patients without multi organ failure. In the absence of such a local service, patients who require RRT for AKI would normally be transferred to a regional renal unit.
The table below shows where the services are located.
