The authors discuss their initial experience with the treatment of secondary amyloidosis in rheumatoid arthritis with irreversible renal failure in patients included in a regular dialyzation programme. The hitherto assembled 15-month experience justifies the inclusion of patients with this cause of irreversible renal failure in a dialyzation programme. The reverse is not only wrong from the medical aspect but is inhuman and interferes with the life of families of these patients. Although the procedure during a regular dialyzation programme of these patients with rheumatoid arthritis with secondary amyloidosis is more complicated, more pretentious and more responsible, it is our medical duty to carry this burden together with the patient.
