At the present time, several hemodialysis centers both in the United States and abroad are actively involved in maintaining and rehabilitating patients having essentially no renal function.Dialysis therapy for end-stage renal disease was first successully attempted by Scribner and associates (1) in 1960. Subsequently numerous other investigators (2-10) have reported on dialysis in chronic uremia with varying degrees of success. The development of first a Teflon (11) and then a Silastic-Teflon arteriovenous shunt (12), as well as the pumpless low-temperature dialysis technique (13),...References1.
