AB The  crude  prevalence  of  end-stage  kidney  disease  (ESKD)  is  2160.7  per  million  in  the  United  States,  with  only  2%  of  these  patients  utilizing  home  hemodialysis  (HHD).1  The  number  of  HHD  patients  has  increased  in  recent  years  and  is  expected  to  increase  further  following  the  introduction  of  the  United  States  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  Advancing  American  Kidney  Health  Initiative.  While  HHD  has  been  associated  with  multiple  benefits,2–7  it  is  not  without  complications.  Nephrologists  must  be  knowledgeable  about  these  complications  as  HHD  use  increases  in  the  United  States.  In  this  chapter,  we  discuss  technical,  medical,  and  psychosocial  complications  associated  with  HHD  and  their  diagnosis,  management,  and  prevention.
