Clinical Outcome of Home Hemodialysis in Patients with Previous Peritoneal Dialysis Exposure: Evaluation of the Integrated Home Dialysis Model

摘要

♦ Background:Home dialysis is a cost-effective modality of renal replacement therapy associated with excellent outcomes. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most common home-based modality, but technique failure remains a problem. Transfer from PD to home hemodialysis (HHD) allows the patient to continue with a home-based modality, but the outcomes of patients transitioning to HHD after PD are largely unknown.
