[Haemodialysis in children (author's transl)]. 1980

A Wolf, and E Balzar, and W F Pinggera, and H K Stummvoll

Thirty four children, aged 2 to 15 years, were treated by haemodialysis between 1967 and 1978. Eleven children suffered from acute renal failure. Twenty three children with end-stage chronic renal disease were treated over periods ranging from 1 week to 19 months. All children were dialysed in a renal unit for adult patients awaiting renal transplantation. Our results refer especially to the technical equipment for paediatric dialysis and to the problems of blood access. The medical problems of chronic uraemia and chronic intermittent haemodialysis in children are discussed. From our experience we conclude that a sufficient degree of rehabilitation can be reached only in a paediatric dialysis unit.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
