KIDNEY DISEASE AS A SOCIAL AND HYGIENIC PROBLEM

 The problem of disability and rehabilitation of patients with kidney disease occupies a special place. This is due not so much to the general prevalence of kidney diseases among the population, but to the undoubted predominance of young people of working age among the diseased people and the fatal development of chronic renal failure. Kidney diseases account for 5-6% of the total morbidity, more than 60% of nephrological patients are under 40 years of age.
