    Abstract:
    Two groups of patients with terminal chronic renal failure (TCRF) treated from 1970 to 1979 (group 1) and in 1980-1989 (group 2) have been compared in respect to treatment results. All the patients underwent programmed hemodialysis performed on different equipment and according to different regimens. The results of group 2 appeared better: the lethality decreased by 18%, mean survival from 6 months to 4.5 years, up to half of the patients were able to receive hemodialysis procedures outpatiently, 30% of the patients were prepared to receive a renal transplant. The above positive shifts were achieved due to utilization of updated equipment, improved water purification, 3-stage technique of hemodialysis, antianemic drug eprex and vanalpha against osteodystrophy.
