The hypothesis that inequalities may be observed between patients of different socio-professional categories (S.P.C.) was assessed in a group of 1267 men treated by chronic haemodialysis (C.H.) in 34 dialysis centers throughout France and followed up in the computerized DIAPHANE Dialysis Registry. The percentages of manual workers and farmers were found lower than those calculated on the whole active french population. In contrast, the percentages of senior executives and patient with liberal professions were higher. Primary renal disease was detected sooner in patient of the higher S.P.C. than in other groups. Patients of the higher S.P.C. were more frequently treated in university or in private hospitals than in general hospitals. They were more likely on evening or night dialysis schedules than on daylight schedules; they more frequently received hypotensive drugs, vitamin D, calcium, iron, prescriptions of blood transfusions than patients of the lower categories. Survival rates were not correlated with the S.P.C., but the rehabilitation rate, expressed as the percentage of part or full time employments, was greater in patients of the higher S.P.C. Results indicate that, in patients treated by chronic haemodialysis, inequalities in favor of the patients of the higher socio-economic categories are observed and that these inequalities concern both the access and the delivery of care.
