Two hundred and twentytwo consecutive haemodialyses were performed with improvised delivery system instead of sophisticated monitoring units in 40 patients admitted with acute or chronic renal failure over a period of two years. The only imported equipment used with this system consisted of Kiil's boards, cuprophane membranes, blood ports and silastic shunts. Out of 32 patients suffering from acute renal failure, 24 patients recovered completely and 8 patients died. The overall mortality rate in acute renal failure was 25%. This study has demonstrated that an efficient haemodialysis programme can be organized with the help of a minimal essential imported equipment. The improvised tank system proved to be economical, suited to the need of hospitals in our country and was easy to operate.
