For Black patients in Johannesburg chronic haemodialysis has been associated with an extremely high mortality rate. A retrospective analysis has shown that the major factor contributing to this is the frequency of primary malignant hypertension, resulting in the death of patients from cardiac failure (sudden death and pulmonary oedema) and cerebrovascular accidents. Septic complications, tuberculosis and shunt complications also contributed to the high death rate. Possible measures to be taken to reduce this high mortality clearly emerge.
对于约翰内斯堡的黑人患者而言，慢性血液透析与极高的死亡率相关。一项回顾性分析表明，造成这一情况的主要因素是原发性恶性高血压的高发率，导致患者死于心力衰竭（猝死和肺水肿）以及脑血管意外。感染性并发症、结核病和分流并发症也导致了高死亡率。降低这种高死亡率可能采取的措施清晰可见。
