Rehabilitation of Danish dialysis and transplant patients.

: An evaluation of the extent of rehabilitation of 512 Danish dialysis and transplant patients, based on a questionnarie, has been carried out. All transplanted patients and dialysis patients and dialysis patients with only slightly limited working capacity before treatment experienced an improvement, whereas disabled dialysis patients did not experience major changes. Sixty per cent of the patients receive disablement pension and the allotment of pension early in the course of treatment is suspected to be one of the main reasons for the low degree of vocational rehabilitation.
