Receiving treatment at home does not reduce your rights as a patient — it changes only where care is delivered.
What to know
- The right to a clear explanation of your diagnosis, prescription and alternatives.
- The right to refuse or stop any treatment, and to have that decision respected.
- The right to access your medical records and to a copy of your care plan.
- The right to privacy, dignity and confidentiality in your own home.
- The right to a second opinion, and to change provider.
Talk to your care team
This topic is part of Patient Rights, Advocacy & Resources, one of ten modules in the Trivita Learning Hub. If anything here contradicts what your own nephrologist or dialysis nurse has told you, follow your care team — they know your prescription, your access and your history.
Trivita's dialysis nurses answer our care line 24 hours a day on 055 242 1070, including for people who are not yet our patients.
Education, not medical advice. This page explains home hemodialysis in general terms for patients and care partners in the UAE. It is reviewed by Trivita's Medical Director but cannot account for your individual circumstances. Never change a prescription, medication or technique based on this page alone.
