Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Handbook of Home Hemodialysis AB - Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality as well as considerable economic burden. A percentage of patients with CKD will eventually progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and require some form of dialysis. There are three dialysis options available; the large majority of patients opt for in-center hemodialysis (HD), with only a small proportion of patients performing peritoneal dialysis at home, and even fewer doing home hemodialysis (HHD). The predominance of in-center HD and underutilization of home dialysis modalities is likely related to what is offered to the patient, that is, healthcare providers have much more experience with in-center HD than with home modalities, and are much more comfortable referring patients for in-center HD.
