    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Advances in understanding uremia pathophysiology and dialysis technology enable more patients to consider travel.
    • Limited dialysis access often restricts travel for patients requiring maintenance dialysis.
    • Portable dialysis systems offer potential solutions for remote or mobile dialysis needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the safety and feasibility of providing maintenance hemodialysis during a 7-day cruise.
    • To evaluate the use of the REDY Dialysis System for travel-based dialysis.
    • To determine complication rates in patients undergoing dialysis while at sea.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten stable patients on maintenance dialysis participated in the study.
    • Hemodialysis was provided using the lightweight and portable REDY Dialysis System.

  • A ship's infirmary was adapted into a 4-bed hemodialysis unit, staffed by a medical team.

    • Main Results:

    • The 7-day cruise was successfully completed by all participating patients.
    • Complications encountered were minimal and effectively managed by the onboard medical staff.
    • The REDY Dialysis System proved to be a viable option for providing dialysis during the cruise.

    Conclusions:

    • Maintenance hemodialysis can be safely provided to stable patients during extended travel, such as a cruise.
    • Portable dialysis technology, like the REDY system, facilitates travel for dialysis patients.
    • Careful planning and a dedicated medical team are crucial for successful travel dialysis.
