title: [Haemodialysis in Turkey].
abstract: In Izmir, Turkey's third largest town, remarkably good treatment results have been achieved in haemodialysis patients. This success has been achieved by the formation of a close-knit and durable team of physicians and nurses at Ege University. This has enabled patients to be treated using a strict volume-control method and to be given individual attention and psychosocial support. This has been made possible by close collaboration with a producer of dialysis machines. Possible conflicts of interest were avoided as there were no personal connections between physicians and the production sector.
