Popis: The literature on the incidence of chronic and acute renal insufficiency is reviewed and the results of own investigations in an area with a population of 1,560,000 are presented. Data were collected in questionnaires. The yearly incidence of patients with chronic uraemia requiring active therapy was estimated at 33 per 1 million population. The number of acute cases was 45 per million. The necessity of increasing the dialysis capacity is stressed. The importance of peritoneal dialysis in the therapy of uraemia cases which do not meet the requirements of the acute and chronic dialysis programmes is emphasized.
