AB  - Although  it  has  been  said  that  patients  choose  home  hemodialysis  (HHD)  because  they  feel  better  and  achieve  better  outcomes,  in  reality  they  cannot  appreciate  those  benefits  before  they  start  HHD.  Therefore,  it  is  more  likely  that  most  patients  choose  HHD  because  they  aspire  to  enjoy  a  better  quality  of  life  (QOL).  Patients  continue  on  HHD  therapy  because  their  perceived  benefit  outweighs  their  obligate  burden  of  performing  HHD  at  home.  The  burden  begins  with  making  the  difficult  decision  to  take  on  the  responsibility  of  performing  HHD.  The  home  dialysis  staff  needs  to  ensure  that  during  the  modality  education  period,  patients  receive  sufficient  time  and  support  to  mitigate  the  stress  of  choosing  the  best  dialysis  modality  that  will  enable  them  to  realize  their  life  plans.  The  staff  also  needs  to  be  certain  that  patients  have  appropriate  skills,  home  environment,  and  support  to  succeed  on  HHD.  Plans  must  be  made  to  correct  modifiable  barriers  for  success.  Unmodifiable  barriers  must  be  identified,  recognized,  and  explained  to  the  patient  who  is  not  suitable  for  HHD.
