[Hemodialysis in children with kidney failure in the GDR].
From our experiences with more than 9.000 haemodialyses in children we render the following three general conclusions: 1. The chronic haemodialysis and the transplantation of a kidney stood the test in the therapy of chronic renal insufficiency in childhood. 2. The most favourable conditions for the performance of the treatment with dialysis in children consist within a special paediatric institution which is achieved by the formation of dialysis centres for children in the GDR. 3. The success of the treatment with dialysis essentially depends on the preparation of the child and on the good cooperation of all persons participating in the treatment. The care system in the GDR which was built up together with the working team children nephrology in 1970 essentially contributes to this fact.
