title: [Evaluation of psychological and social rehabilitation of the child with chronic renal failure].
abstract: Fifteen children with chronic renal failure were studied from the psychological and social viewpoints. Seven of them had been treated under a program of chronic hemodialysis; seven had been transplanted a kidney from a living donor and one from a dead donor. The degree of psychological and social rehabilitations was compared between the transplanted patients and those under chronic hemodialysis. It was observed that the latter did not achieve an acceptable degree of rehabilitation. The importance of the donor's position within the family structure, prior to the transplant, is also emphasized as the key relevant factor contributing to the family balance after the transplant.
