Clinical Practice Session
Home Dialysis for This Patient, Really?
October 24, 2026 | 04:30 PM - 06:00 PM
Location: Room 501, Convention Center
Session Description
This session explores the feasibility of home dialysis, both peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HD), for patients who are often considered ineligible and therefore denied the option of home dialysis. Evidence on the advantages and potential disadvantages of both home dialysis modalities is explored.
