title: Preliminary report on the efficiency of combined haemodialysis-haemoperfusion treatment in chronic uraemia.
abstract: The use of activated charcoal haemoperfusion can play a complementary role in the substitutive treatment of chronic uraemia. This study reports the preliminary results of a regular combined haemodialysis-haemoperfusion treatment. The effectiveness of this treatment was observed on the subjective symptomatology (anorexia, nausea, asthenia) and on the polyneuropathy evaluated by electrophysiological assessments. The biocompatability of the system proved satisfactory.
