title: [Twenty years of research in the field of haemodialysis: the contribution of the Nephrology Department of Erasme Hospital].
abstract: This article summarizes the contribution of the Department of Nephrology, Dialysis, and renal Transplantation to the research in the field of haemodialysis during the last twenty years. The most important contributions are devoted, on the one hand, to the infections and immune defenses of the dialysis patient, on the other hand, to the biocompatibility of the materials used for haemodialysis and to the adverse reactions of the patient to these materials.
