Metabolic Disorders and Therapeutic Approaches to Renal Failure

Abstract

The results of this study have led to better understanding of the metabolic abnormalities in uremia. Ths most satisfactory solution to the problem of chronic renal failure will be trans plantation of the kidney. The work discussed in the report represents the progress in some of the fields which must be thoroughly explored before this can be generally feasible. It is now possible in certain instances to restore an in dividual with terminal uremia to full activity for periods as long as 15 months by the trans plantation of unrelated kidney. (Author)
