RESUMO
Serum fructosamines and glycosylated haemoglobin have been examined in groups of patients with (n = 27) and without (n = 39) diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure, or undergoing renal replacement therapy. Elevated values of fructosamines were found in nondiabetic haemodialysis patients as compared to the other non-diabetic patients. The relationship between fructosamines and glycosylated haemoglobin appeared to be attenuated by uraemia. Successful pancreatic transplantation returned fructosamine and glycosylated haemoglobin values to normal.

We have costed our Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) programme on Merseyside since its start in January, 1979. Costs for initial training, maintenance and subsequent re-admissions have been included. At the end of 1981 the current cost to the NHS was pounds 5 510 per patient per year. This figure compares favourably with costs for other dialysis modes, especially when considering the older age and poorer medical condition of the CAPD patients.
