Extract

This paper attempts to show something of the interaction between social factors and the response to treatment in patients with chronic renal failure who embark on a programme of recurrent dialysis. The social work involved was carried out on the series of patients reported by Professor Cramond and his colleagues in the three articles preceding this one.
