21st century home haemodialysis: a new approach to an old treatment.
Home therapies are increasingly being demonstrated to be the best treatments for the early stages of the dialysis life-cycle. Although home haemodialysis has declined dramatically over the last 20 years from 41% in 1983 (1) to 3.2% in 1998 in the UK alone (2), many studies have suggested that it offers the optimum dialysis in terms of outcomes (3,4,5). Evidence from a 1998 survey of UK dialysis staff indicates that the major perceived drawbacks of home haemodialysis were lack of suitable patients, family stress, cost of machines and training time (6). The study also strongly indicated that a lack of familiarity with the treatment was a major cause of its decline in many units. We set out to redesign our approach to home haemodialysis to make it suitable for many more patients.
