Abstract:
Arthropathies and para-arthropathies occur in two thirds of regularly haemodialyzed uraemic subjects. The incidence does not depend on age but the period of haemodialyzation treatment. After five years of treatment the articular apparatus is affected in 100%. In women, as compared with men, the joints of the upper extremities, in particular the small joints of the hands are significantly more frequently affected.
