Abstract
Purpose of review: The rapid rise in incidence and prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) over the past 50 years was matched by a drop-off in use of home dialysis and a proliferation of in-center hemodialysis across the United States. There is renewed interest in improving access to home dialysis modalities for patients with ESKD. The aim of this review is to update kidney care providers with clinical outcome data and new guidelines that promote patient-centered choices, and to address barriers to home dialysis uptake and continued use.
Recent findings: Recent literature, including changing practice guidelines for prescribing home dialysis and examining the goals of treatment from the patient and caregiver perspectives will be reviewed. We will examine the impact of newer care models to promote home dialysis for incident ESKD patients. Assisted home dialysis, home dialysis in a nursing home and the impact of new payment models rewarding home dialysis providers will be examined.
Summary: This concise review of recent pertinent literature should give the dialysis provider confidence in advising their patients on the benefits of home dialysis, a glimpse into the future landscape for home dialysis, and hopefully transform kidney care providers into unbiased patient advocates.
