Abstract:
In a peritoneal dialysis (PD) program, an efficient and well-structured home visit schedule is imperative for ensuring patient compliance, adherence to proper exchange technique, nutrition status monitoring and intervention, and early detection of evolving medical comorbid problems so as to prevent further complications. Regular home-visit follow-up of the PD patient directly affects technique survival and quality of life. The clinical coordinator is ideally placed to be the direct link between the PD center and patients in their domiciliary surroundings. This professional plays a crucial role in the success of a PD program.
