Treatment Option

Home Hemodialysis (HHD)

Hemodialysis involves cleansing the blood through an artificial kidney machine and filter.

Choosing an Access:

Fistula – The Best Choice:
Utilizes your blood vessels to establish secure access to your bloodstream in your arm.

Graft – A Good Option:

Utilizes a special tube in your arm to create a safe access to your bloodstream.

Catheter – The Last Resort:

Involves a special tube that goes directly into your heart, usually through a vein in your neck or chest.

 

Home Hemodialysis (HHD):

Home hemodialysis closely mirrors the hemodialysis conducted in dialysis centers. The blood circulates into the dialysis machine, where toxins and excess fluid are removed, and the cleaned blood is then returned to the body.

Home hemodialysis machines are specifically designed for patient ease of use.

Home Hemodialysis Treatments on Your Schedule:

  • Tailored training, support, and encouragement to enhance your well-being.
  • Individuals choose home hemodialysis to lead the longest, healthiest life possible with the freedom to live on their terms.

Private, Expert Training (HHD):

  • In-depth, private training by a knowledgeable and compassionate dialysis nurse at a home dialysis education center.
  • Often, both the person needing dialysis and their dialysis partner are trained together.
  • Step-by-step guidance ensures a comprehensive understanding of the dialysis process and equipment operation.
  • In about three to four weeks, most individuals feel comfortable conducting treatments at home independently or with their partner.

Supplies Delivered Monthly:

  • Monthly deliveries of HHD supplies to your home, allowing you to perform treatments on a schedule tailored to your preferences and doctor’s recommendations.
  • Many HHD users opt for night treatments while they sleep.

HHD Lifestyle:

  • Nighttime treatments afford flexibility during the day for work, school, or other activities.

24/7 Help and Support:

  • Monthly meetings with your home dialysis care team, including the dialysis nurse, social worker, and dietitian, to ensure optimal health.
  • A dialysis nurse is available 24/7 by phone for any inquiries.

Hemodialysis (HD):

Blood is cleansed using an artificial kidney machine and filter.

In a gradual process, blood flows out of the body into the dialysis machine, where waste and extra fluid are removed. The cleaned blood is then returned to the body.
