The Essentials in Hemodialysis An Illustrated Guide
At the end of 1976 there were 34,215 people with end-stage renal disease alive on dialysis and transplantation within the registry centers of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association (14:4, 1977). From July, 1973, when the American Government began to fund dialysis, the estimated number of d...
