Abstract:
Two different dialysis techniques have been developed and have considerably evolved in parallel to center hemodialysis (HD). These techniques, peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (Home HD) show many advantages and present different indications to be distinguished from HD. This article summarizes PD and Home HD to help health professionals and to provide them emulation for giving the best choice to their patients. This bright choice gives the patient the access to an adapted home therapy. It's a non exhaustive list of the many advantages, if not superiority, of the treatment of end stage renal disease (ESRD) at home instead of center HD. These therapies, eventually before kidney transplantation, do complete the panel of treatments of ESRD for health providers.
