[Importance of residual diuresis in patients with chronic pyelonephritis under constant dialysis treatment]

In 55% of 100 patients (54 with glomerulonephritis and 46 with pyelonephritis) who had been dialysed in the permanent dialysis treatment for more than one year the tactics of a dialysis per week was estabished at the beginining of the permanent dialysis treatment: in the diuresis of more than 1 litre a day with the residual glomerular filtration about 5 ml/min, in stabilised body-weight, in controllable hypertension and in the compensated clinical picture of renal insufficiency. The residual glomerular filtration can be presumed only in the optimally hydrated patients. The canulation of the subclavian vein has proved significant for the evaluation of optimum hydration.
