Home dialysis technology continues to develop, and machines are getting smaller, quieter and simpler to operate.
What to know
- Portable and wearable systems continue to reduce the space and setup home dialysis requires.
- Remote monitoring lets care teams review session data between appointments.
- Evaluate new claims against evidence and your nephrologist's judgement, not marketing.
- Ask at your annual review whether newer equipment would suit your prescription better.
Talk to your care team
