The causes for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in 148 consecutive patients 18-45 years of age were analyzed over a five-year period in the Buffalo-SMSA. Incidence, diagnostic category specific, prevalence, age patterns, and life expectancy are provided by sex, race, and heroin abuse status. A striking correlation between heroin abuse, glomerulonephritis, and ESRD among Blacks was discovered, demonstrating the impact of heroin abuse on both the cost and statistical interpretation of the causes for ESRD
