Regular, long term haemodialysis is a standard treatment of patients in chronic renal failure. Its psychiatric implications have been dealt with in a number of studies, most of which concentrate on purely psychological or social aspects, for example patients' perception of and response to illness (Pritchard, 1974), the relevance to outcome of basic personality (Kaplan De-Nour and Czaczkes, 1976), or the impact on the family of dialysis carried out at home (Farmer et al, 1979). There are two distinct psychiatric syndromes of importance which can be clinically recognized.

To examine the impact of renal transplantation on subsequent development of children with chronic renal failure, 37 children undergoing primary renal transplantation at or before 30 months of age whose allograft functioned for at least 1 year were prospectively studied. Psychometric tests were performed an average of 4 months before transplantation; reevaluation was done an average of 14 months after surgery. Comparison of individual pretransplantation and posttransplantation mental development scores in 33 patients, assessed by either Bayley Mental Development Index or Stanford-Binet Intelligence Quotient, revealed an average increase of 12.6 (P &lt; .001). After transplantation, there was a significant improvement in mental performance in 12 of 18 patients (P &lt; .02) from the range of mild delay (Mental Development Index or Stanford-Binet IQ score = 50 to 69) to the range of normal mental development (70). The Bayley Psychomotor Development Index scores were frequently lower than Mental Development Index scores and also increased an average of 14.4 (P &lt; .01) after transplantation in all 12 patients with paired data. Significant individual improvement in occipital-frontal circumference standard deviation score (P &lt; .001) was noted in 24 children after transplantation. It is concluded that successful renal transplantation in young children with chronic renal failure is often associated with significant improvements in cognitive and psychomotor function, as well as improved cephalic growth.

The life quality potential and functional outcome status of individuals with chronic renal failure has been and will continue to be influenced by improved medical treatment options. Rehabilitation counselors are strongly urged to keep their knowledge up-to-date regarding developments in healthcare and technology in order to readjust their perspectives regarding rehabilitation possibilities. The progression of chronic renal failure is described followed by an update on current medical treatment options. Functional implications are presented with an emphasis on how specific treatment methods impact functional outcomes. Rehabilitation counseling practice guidelines are provided for assessment, counseling, and job placement.
