What is Chronic Kidney Disease?
Chronic kidney disease is a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. The kidneys can no longer effectively filter toxins and excess water from the blood, which can lead to serious complications.19
What is home hemodialysis?
Home hemodialysis is a dialysis technique that allows patients to perform their sessions at home using a compact dialysis monitor. The principle of hemodialysis is based on extracorporeal blood circulation, where the blood is filtered through a dialyzer before being reinfused into the body.22
Who can benefit from home hemodialysis?
Patients must:
- Be motivated and independent.
- Have a suitable space at home for the equipment.
- Be medically eligible after evaluation by their nephrologist.20,21
