Home hemodialysis. Revival of a superior dialysis treatment.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Home hemodialysis is usually considered a superior therapy, whose decline is related to demographic, social, psychological and financial factors as well as to competition with renal transplantation and PD. METHODS:A home hemodialysis program was started in November 1998 in the University of Torino, Italy (200-210 patients on dialysis). Its main features are the tailoring of dialysis schedules and the acceptance of patients with comorbidity. Nurses assist home sessions in case of short-term problems, while the training center ensures follow-up for long-term clinical and logistic problems. RESULTS:The program started in November 1998 on a previous one (active from 1970 to 1998; 6 patients on treatment in November 1998). Since then, 25 more patients joined the program. Out of 31 patients followed since November 1998, 4 were grafted, 2 died, and 2 dropped out from training. In June 2001, 15 patients were on home hemodialysis, 8 on training. Dialysis schedules and controls are flexible and tailored; in June 2001, range of dialysis time was 1.20-5 h; sessions: 2-6; 8 patients were on thrice-weekly dialysis, 7 on daily dialysis; all patients reached target EKRc >10 ml/min (median 15, range 11-24 ml/min). CONCLUSION:Tailored, flexible schedules allowed home hemodialysis in over 10% of our patients, confirming that there is still room for this treatment in our setting.
