Material and methods: Monitoring was performed. Of 190 patients evaluated in our monitoring 84 (44.21 %) abandoned. Results: Dialysis interruption was related to a prescription of dialysis start of less than 6 months OR: 6.27 (p= 0.011). Conclusions: We conclude that the frequency of dialysis interruption is high, possibly associated to the lack of dialysis vacancies.
