  • Title: [A fourth possibility treating chronical uremic patients: the satellite dialysis station (author's transl)].
    Author: Frotscher U, Hartwig H.
    Journal: Med Klin; 1976 Jan 16; 71(3):120-3. PubMed ID: 1250191.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to reduce the lack of dialysis places by establishing so-called satellite-dialysis-stations. Carrying out the normal dialysis treatment the satellite-station shows certain advantages in comparison to the dialysis center. There are presented the results of 21 patients in a satellite-dialysis-station. On average the systolic blood pressure before dialysis was 132,1 +/- 17,7 mm Hg, the diastolic blood pressure 83,5 +/- 14,9 mm Hg, serum creatinin 9,9 +/- 1,5 mg/100ml, hemoglobin 12,4 +/- 3,2 g/100 ml and the hematocrit 34,4 +/- 5,3%. 16 patients are still working. During the first 12 months of treatment in the satellite-dialysis-station the hematocrit of the patiens was raised on average by 6,4%. Concerning the results of the therapeutic and psychic situation of the patients the satellite-dialysis-station is comparable to the home dialysis treatment.
