Abstract:
The economic environment has pushed our political leaders to severely limit the health care spending. Belgian nephrologists have signed an agreement to attain more than 40 % of " alternative " dialysis techniques such as peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD). They will become unavoidable and major future therapy modalities. This article summarizes PD and HDD techniques in order to help health professionals and to inform them about innovative research in home dialysis techniques. It is a non exhaustive list of the many advantages, if not superiority, of the treatment of end stage renal disease (ESRD) at home instead of in-center HD. These therapies, which can be used before kidney transplantation, complete the panel of possible treatments of ESRD for health care providers.
