title: [Psychosocial care for children with chronic renal failure (author's transl)].
abstract: After dialysis and kidney transplantation have become widely accepted methods to ensure the survival of uremic children, adequate psychosocial care for those affected becomes more and more important. Problems like parental overprotection, sibling rivalry, low school attendance rates, non-compliance with medical measures, social and economical stress in the family can only be overcome by the combined efforts of a specialized team. Comprehensive medical information, psychological support for individuals and groups, continuous critical evaluation of all medical measures, parents' groups and organized holiday activities for uremic, dialyzed and transplanted children have proved to be helpful methods.
