Wirginia Tomczak-Watras, Adam Plewa, Jan Talar, Jacek Manitius – Rehabilitation for patients on renal replacement therapy: possibilities and prospects. Fizjoterapia Polska 2002; 2(3); 245-249

Abstract
Achieving a high quality of life should be the basic treatment goal in chronic dialysis. The best means to achieve this aim is a rehabilitation program aimed at restoring the patient’s capacity to return to work, while in the case of older patients the primary goal is to attain functional independence in performing activities of daily living. The achievement of these goals makes renal replacement therapy cost-effective. In the future it will be necessary to constantly update, plan, and execute the rehabilitation program and to monitor the beneficial long-term outcomes of its application.

Key words:
Dialysis, Quality of Life, cost-effectiveness
