Renal dialysis center operational plans.

The Southern California region has available a Renal-Dialysis Center at the University of Southern California School of Medicine and the Los Angeles County General Hospital. The center is prepared to carry out dialysis, transplantation, research and education in nephrology.Patient selection for dialysis will be randomized among optimum candidates.The high cost of dialysis per patient might be reduced through home dialysis and by successful homotransplantation. The center plans to arrange transplantation of cadaver kidneys matched by tissue typing to a recipient undergoing hemodialysis. Such an approach will keep a constant turnover of patients and will help in research efforts toward better understanding of problems in nephrology.
