Popis: Chronic renal failure is an expanding and complex problem in Mexico. This work analyzes its current situation and finds a clear imbalance between supply and demand for specialized services, that favors the latter. To explain said imbalance, it invokes four factors: the recent innovation in nephrology and parallel disciplines; educational deficit of medical schools; high costs of rehabilitation of the uremic patient, and the absence of specifically designed mechanisms for financing the treatment of this disease.
