Abstract:
Encouraging clinical outcomes from observational and randomized controlled data in the forms of frequent hemodialysis (HD) has renewed interest in home HD. However, given its benefits, home HD is relatively underutilized throughout the world. The Global Forum for Home Hemodialysis, an independent panel comprised of internationally recognized nephrologists, home HD nurses, administrators, patient advocates, and a long-time home HD patient, has convened with the intention of creating an open-source, comprehensive, practical manual that provides useful information to clinicians who are interested in implementing home HD.
