The perception of family by children and youth with chronic renal failure treated conservatively and with haemodialyses was studied. Intrafamilial relations were subjected to analysis. It was found that with the limitations due to the disease, family is the main environment where the psychophysical needs of the child are fulfilled and it is of decisive value for the quality of life of patients. In view of the importance ascribed to it, it may play a significant role in the accommodation of the patient to the disease, influencing the effectiveness of long-term treatment.
