[Dialysis costs. 2. Ward-integrated dialysis]

It is described how with a small personnel and material expenditure in a nephrologic ward since several years haemodialytic therapies are performed successfully and effectively. The expenses for this form of dialysis integrated into the ward were compared with those in the dialysis centre. Demands of cost and personnel are essentially lower. In this paper the suggestion shall be given to test the organization of similar dialysis units in other places. The fund at disposal would then used more rationally and the degree of care for patients who need this therapy improved.
