Initially home treatment was a cumbersome experimental endeavor but has evolved rapidly into a practical and successful means of treating end-stage kidney disease. Maintenance dialysis now can be made available to almost anyone who is capable of learning to treat himself in his own home. Furthermore, treatment in the home rather than the center can provide opportunity for more dialysis and therefore better control of the azotemic state and at less than...References1.
