    Home dialysis patients can safely travel using a specialized dialysis camper. This mobile unit facilitated over 280 haemodialyses across Europe, demonstrating comparable safety to standard home dialysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Medical Technology
    • Patient Mobility

    Background:

    • Home dialysis offers independence but limits travel.
    • The Institute of Nephrology in Nürnberg sought to enhance patient travel options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of holiday dialysis using a mobile dialysis camper.
    • To assess the Redy-dialysis system's performance in a mobile setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A dedicated dialysis camper equipped with Redy-dialysis technology was deployed.
    • The camper was utilized by 20 home dialysis patients over six years for 40 rentals.
    • Over 100,000 km were covered across Europe, facilitating 280 haemodialysis treatments.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The mobile dialysis camper successfully supported 280 haemodialyses for home dialysis patients.
    • Travel with the Redy-bus covered extensive distances (over 100,000 km) and duration (700 days).
    • Haemodialysis performed using the Redy-system in the camper showed no increased risk compared to home dialysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Mobile dialysis units, like the Redy-bus, provide a safe and viable option for home dialysis patients to travel.
    • The Redy-dialysis system is effective for haemodialysis in a mobile, non-clinical environment.
    • Patient experiences indicate successful integration of holiday dialysis into their lifestyle.
