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.

  • Describe how PD or home HD may support patients during pregnancy
  • Discuss how PD can be used in people with polycystic kidney disease
  • Compare opportunities for PD and home HD among patients who are older, frail, or medically complex

Learning Pathway(s)
