The enthusiasm for dialysis has even promoted the concept that in this setting it is adequate therapy rather than an experimental procedure. We consider dialysis for chronic renal failure a procedure that is still in the investigational stage and from which much biochemical information may yet be obtained.For the past 5 years we have employed periodic hemodialysis for 11 patients with chronic renal failure.
