Home hemodialysis (HHD) is the provision of hemodialysis to purify the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally, in their own home. One advantage to doing dialysis at home is that it can be done more frequently and slowly, which reduces the "washed out" feeling and other symptoms caused by rapid ultrafiltration, and it can often be done at night, while the person is sleeping. HHD was introduced in the 1960s as a way to conserve scarce healthcare resources.

  • Home hemodialysis (HHD) is the provision of hemodialysis to purify the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally, in their own home. One advantage to doing dialysis at home is that it can be done more frequently and slowly, which reduces the "washed out" feeling and other symptoms caused by rapid ultrafiltration, and it can often be done at night, while the person is sleeping. People on home hemodialysis are followed by a nephrologist who writes the dialysis prescription and they rely on the support of a dialysis unit for back-up treatments and case management. Studies show that HHD improves patients' sense of well-being; the more they know about and control their own treatment the better they are likely to do on dialysis. HHD was introduced in the 1960s as a way to conserve scarce healthcare resources. (en)
  • La hemodiálisis domiciliaria (HHD) es el suministro en el hogar de la hemodiálisis para el paciente con insuficiencia renal terminal. En la mayoría de los casos, es para los pacientes que desean mayor libertad de horarios y no tienen complicaciones médicas graves para realizar el tratamiento en el hogar. Históricamente, tuvo un uso relativamente amplio antes de la introducción de la diálisis peritoneal a finales de los años 1970, cuando entró en declive. Con cada vez más largas listas de espera para el trasplante renal, la diálisis domiciliaria reapareció en los años 1990 y proporciona, en algunos centros, una alternativa a los que fallan en diálisis peritoneal o solo desean una alternativa que puedan hacer en su propio hogar.
