In the thrice-weekly world, dialysis prescriptions have been based mostly on achieving urea adequacy and managing the symptoms and morbidity associated with dialysis using medications, and expecting the patient to live with some symptoms. However, over the past several years, an interest in expanding home dialysis, specifically home hemodialysis (HHD), has been a focus of dialysis clinicians across the United States. This drive may be attributed to the following factors: growth of peritoneal dialysis (PD) stemming from changes in the payment system, modernization of technology that has decreased the burden of HHD, increasing interest in person-centered care, and increased awareness of the potential benefits of home therapies. This interest has not been missed by the US government, which has actively encouraged the expansion of home dialysis and transplantation through policy reform.
