[An analysis of the survival and death rate of patients on periodic hemolysis treatment at the Hemodialysis Center of the Medical Academy in 1971-1987].

For a period of 17 years a total of 377 patients have been on hemodialysis treatment--242 men (64.2 per cent) and 135 women (35.8 per cent).

[A computer program for the drug dosage of patients with chronic kidney failure].

On the basis of the formula Mt = Mo.e-(Cl/Vd).t, a computer program was developed for estimating the maintenance drug dose in patients with chronic renal failure, depending on the creatinine clearance levels and the body mass.

[Programmed fluid removal during hemodialysis in patients with unstable hemodynamics].

In 7 anuric patients with chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis for a period from 36 up to 73 months a programmed drawing out of fluids was applied by using a dialyzing solution with variable sodium concentration in order to avoid heavy hypotensive incidents. The concentrations of potassium, sodium in serum and erythrocytes, plasma osmolarity, arterial pressure, body mass, use of medicaments were examined. The "programmed dialysis" led to a greater with 1.

[Prevention and treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders during hemodialysis].

16 patients with chronic renal failure and cardiac rhythm disorders which appear or aggravate in the course of hemodialysis were followed up. The most frequent cause for the appearance of arrhythmia in the course of hemodialysis is the dialyzing solution containing 2 mmol/l potassium. Some predisposing factors such as age, cardiac failure also play a role.

[Clinico-scintigraphic studies of bone disease (renal osteodystrophy) in patients on chronic hemodialysis (preliminary report)].

10 patients with chronic renal failure (6 women, 4 men), 19 to 59 years of age, duration of the disease form 3 up to 21 years, treated by hemodialysis from 2 to 5 years, were examined. The scintigraphic examination of the bones with 99mTc pyrophosphate (166.5.
