Abstract

The artificial kidney is generally accepted now as an apparatus for chronic renal patients. It can help them get over a life-threatening renal dysfunction and it can offer them a life as nearly normal as possible, so long as they cannot get a kidney transplant. In addition it can be of help in acute intoxications.

The percentage of all renal patients making use of peritoneal dialysis varies very widely, from 5% in Japan to 90% in Mexico! Jacobs C, Kjellstrand CM, Koch KM and Winchester JF also estimated in 1996 the total number of people all over the world who are dependent on dialysis at more than half a million: see the 4th edition of the book Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis, for which they formed the editorial board. It was published in Dordrecht by Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996.
