AB  - The  story  of  hemodialysis  (HD)  dates  back  to  1942  with  the  development  of  the  first  artificial  kidney  by  Willem  Kolff  in  Holland.1,2  Italian  Umberto  Buoncristiani  then  built  the  first  portable  artificial  kidney  with  recirculated  dialysis  fluid  that  enabled  one  of  his  patients  to  go  on  vacation  with  his  children.3  In  Japan,  HD  was  made  available  in  1954  by  Kishuo  Shibusawa  who  utilized  the  handmade,  modified  Skeggs  hemodialyzer.4  HD  entered  a  new  era  when  Belding  Scribner  and  his  colleagues  from  the  University  of  Washington  developed  a  Teflon  arteriovenous  shunt  in  1960,  making  repeated  blood  access  possible.1,5  The  first  outpatient  dialysis  unit,  the  Seattle  Artificial  Kidney  Center  (now  known  as  the  Northwest  Kidney  Center),  opened  only  2  years  later  in  1962.6  HD  was  only  available  for  patients  with  acute  kidney  injury,  who  dialyzed  6  to  10  hours  three  times  a  week.4  Home  hemodialysis  (HHD)  was  first  established  in  the  1960s  at  the  University  of  Washington  in  Seattle.1
