[Dialysis therapy in the Czech Republic in 1999].
Number of HDS patients has stabilised; however, the technical background of the haemodialysation program is not sufficient, 40% of the dialysation monitors has been amortised. In the dialysed population numbers of elderly patients (60%) and diabetics (33%) rise, thus rise the number of polymorbid patients and about 1/3 of new patients come form "the street". Not surprisingly it brings high mortality (20%). Six per cent of patients were treated with peritoneal dialysis in 1999, the highest number achieved in the present history of this method. This trend should be kept in future.
