What is Home Hemodialysis?

Home hemodialysis (HHD) is an advanced kidney replacement therapy that allows patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) to perform their dialysis treatments from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. This life-sustaining therapy functions similarly to in-center hemodialysis, removing toxins, excess fluids, and waste products from the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
We are committed to providing patients and caregivers across the UAE with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to perform dialysis at home safely and effectively.
Understanding the Basics
Hemodialysis involves circulating a patient’s blood through a special filter called a dialyzer. This dialyzer is connected to a dialysis machine, which carefully regulates blood flow, filtration, and fluid removal. During treatment, the machine acts as an artificial kidney. In a clinical setting, this process is managed by trained dialysis staff. However, with home hemodialysis, the patient and/or a trained caregiver take over this responsibility following an intensive training program.
Home hemodialysis is typically performed with the support of a nephrologist, dialysis nurse, and a dedicated home dialysis care team. These professionals provide education, guidance, and remote monitoring to ensure optimal safety and outcomes.
Types of Home Hemodialysis
There are a few different modalities of home hemodialysis:
Conventional Home Hemodialysis: Performed three times per week for 3.5 to 5 hours per session.
Short Daily Home Hemodialysis: Performed five to six times a week, with shorter sessions of about 2 to 3 hours.
Nocturnal Home Hemodialysis: Conducted overnight while the patient sleeps, often 3 to 6 nights per week.
Each option has its own set of benefits and considerations, and your healthcare team will help determine which is best based on your lifestyle, medical condition, and preferences.
Advantages of Home Hemodialysis
Patients choose home dialysis for a variety of reasons:
Flexibility in scheduling treatments
Improved quality of life, with fewer dietary and fluid restrictions
Fewer hospital visits and less exposure to infection
Greater independence and control over your care
Better dialysis outcomes, especially with more frequent treatment
Many patients report feeling healthier, having more energy, and enjoying greater freedom with home dialysis compared to center-based treatment.
