This is similar to hemodialysis to purify your blood if your kidneys cannot do it efficiently, but is done in the comfort of your own home. With home dialysis, you can set your own schedule, feel more in control, and have friends and family visit you while you are being treated. If you are a highly motivated dialysis patient who wants to maintain an active lifestyle and take greater responsibility for your care, then home dialysis might be a great treatment option for you. You and your doctor will discuss the quality of life benefits, as well as any medical risks and decide together if dialysis at home is right choice for you.
