[Dialysis therapy in the Czech Republic in 1991].
In the Czech Republic in 1991 2064 patients with chronic renal failure were treated in 43 haemodialysation centres. The number of newly enlisted patients was high--655 patients. Despite this the mean number of 196.5 patients/1 million population is lower than the European average. Fear of doctors is aroused by inadequate technical equipment and the lagging replacement of amortized equipment. The age of dialyzed patients is rising, the number of polymorbid patients and diabetics is increasing. It can be assumed that the mortality will increase and the number of transplantable patients will decline. A high incidence of hepatitis still persists. The most frequent cause of acute renal failure are complications after surgery. Acute haemodialysis on account of intoxication was made most frequently after intoxications with drugs.
