Renal function and home haemodialysis

Residual renal function, urine production and electroyte excretion were measured in 17 patients at home on intermittent haemodialysis. 51Cr-EDTA clearances ranged from 1.2 to 4.5 ml/min and urine volumes form 0-657ml/24 hours. Electrolyte excretions varied widely. The amount of residual renal function did not affect the degree of rehabilitation.
