Patient-Centered Home Hemodialysis: Approaches and Prescription. Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN El Shamy, O., Abra, G., Chan, C. 2023

Abstract

Writing a home hemodialysis (HD) prescription is a complex, multifactorial process that requires the incorporation of patient values, preferences, and lifestyle. Knowledge of the different options available in terms of home HD modality (conventional, nocturnal, short daily, and alternate nightly) is also important when customizing a prescription. Finally, an understanding of the different home HD machines currently approved for use at home, their different attributes and limitations help guide providers when formulating their prescriptions. In this review article, we set out to address these different aspects to help guide providers in providing a patient-centered home HD approach.
