[Dialysis treatment of advanced diabetic nephropathy (author's transl)].
Dialysis treatment of patients with diabetic nephropathy turns out to be difficult because of numerous late complications which arise in addition to the renal disease and which often influence the direction of the course of the disease. But this experience does not in the least justify the exclusion generally of patients with diabetic nephropathy from dialysis the-rapy. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are equally suitable for  the treatment of renal insufficiency; patients with accumulated hemorrhagic complications (e. g. vitreous hemorrhages) should be treated by peritoneal dialysis for preference, and those with a predominant hypertension by hemodialysis. Early preparation for dialysis treatment is of great importance.
